I just realized that all of my top three favorite books are coming-of-age stories! (or bildungsromans, if you prefer).
They are:
-The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
-Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino (underrated gem btw)
-Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingslover
Can y'all think of any other books like this that I should check out? I tend to read a lot of Literary Fiction on account of being an English major, but I am open to all genres.
