Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?
Books where a daughter and her complicated/strained relationship with her parental figure(s) is a large part of the story (whether that be the main plot or a major subplot) • note: the title is a quote from the show Arcane (iykyk)

the title ill sob
YUPPP🥲😭 Gotta love a show that's full of complex character relationships and ✨emotional damage✨
It’s a favorite of mine too! Happy a year out from the end of season 2 to us all
Fr lol. The hole that show left is still gaping
I completely agree!!! But that’s what quality fan fiction is for
Haha true!!
I saved this list and then had to unsave it for my own well being lol
LMAO so valid bestie /gen
Yeah no that is so goddamn real
The best line in the show 😭😭
Not a singular book, but the Little Thieves trilogy deals heavily with complicated mother/daughter relationships. (The main character has a complicated relationship with not only her biological mother but also her lesbian adoptive moms)
I'll add the first book in the series to the list, thank you for the rec!
Omg Ambelin is on this list! As a reader based in Australia I love this
