Hi there , newish mom.
I feel like when I’ve read YA or books from kids perspective I often immediately side with the parents and find them immature/annoying … but that may be a me problem.
I just picked up sunburn by Chloe Howarth and so far she is really nailing a complicated mother/daughter relationship from the eyes of the child (teen). It made me realize I want more of that. More sensitive children (teens or adults) reflecting on their relationship with their parents. Not just black and white one side is evil or good, but a nuanced, complex take. Literary fiction preferred but anything that you felt impacted you emotionally. I hope that makes sense.
