Recs if you like With Teeth...

Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of mother-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. While many books on this list are what I’d classify as including “mommy issues” there are others that are more about the different perspectives and nuances of the mother-child (often specifically mother-daughter) relationship. Some books center the child, some the mother, some both.

Suggestions are welcome.

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.

This list will be deleted in a few days. Go follow the masterlist by @yarnandbooks instead! :)

Focused on stories with beautiful prose, depth, and explore the intricate realities of the LGBTQ+ experience. Sub-genres could range from historical, contemporary, science fiction, magical realism, and classics (even romance!).

I will continue to update this, so comment if you have more!

Lesbian books that I feel are real and full and complex and more than just that. Sometimes they make me feel bad too. That’s okay. It’s all part of it.
