Don't crucify me! Im diving into this for my Psych Masters thesis and want to immerse myself in the fictional as well as the facts (though this post is for the fiction portion). I've already covered Flowers in the Attic and Forbidden. Preferably more recent (2000 onwards).

Maybe not useful, depending on your parameters, but Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki.
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.
Also these are a few years older than what you want but still work. Adding spoiler warnings to these as well-
>!The Secret History by Donna Tartt!<
>!The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy!<
Fiction and nonfiction by Edward St. Aubyn. Haven’t read them, but they are highly regarded.
Man, I initially read that as insects and even preloaded a recommendation.
I’ll be off, then.
Crimes of Love by de Sade.
God of the small things is often offered as coursework for teenagers in uk so there’s a lot of essays and theories etc etc which may be useful to you?
Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald — Slightly older than you want since it was published in 1996, but the novel is iconic and horrifyingly brilliant. It was also adapted into a stage play in 2023.
Not recent obviously, but themes of incest are a big part of The Sound and the Fury
My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent had CSA between a daughter and a father. Harsh, harsh book.
Ada, or Ardor by Nabokov
