Recs if you like My Name Is Lucy Barton...

books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

lit fic featuring dysfunctional families

Every book longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction since it was founded in 1996, under its current title and previous sponsored titles of 'Orange' and 'Baileys' Prize for Fiction. I want to hear your percentage overlap in the comments!

the complicated inheritance of being someone's daughter. maternal wounds, generational trauma, inherited neuroses, impossible expectations, and the many ways love can leave a mark. mothers we love, resent, misunderstand, and spend a lifetime trying to figure out. daughters caught between becoming their mothers, disappointing them, and figuring out who they are without them. // some family issues require a little more than a family group chat.

— suggestions always welcome!

Titles with full character's name. I haven't read all of those books, and I'm open to suggestions.
