it’s complicated: mother-child relationships
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.

Aspiring Artists
Middle grade and YA novels whose main characters are artists. Recommendations are always welcome — the only requirement is that the main character must be some sort of artist (painters, writers, dancers, musicians, chefs, and more are all acceptable) and that their love of art must play a key role in the plot.
