Begging for book recommendations

 

No offense to readers/writers of women's fiction with a romance focus, but that's not me and I keep accidentally reading it. The blurb for this sounded right up my alley- an independent heroine revisiting old family drama and figuring out how to create an unconventional path forward. Unfortunately it was more Scooby-Doo mystery peppered with rekindled romance with high school boyfriend.

To be fair, this is a good book for the intended audience. And I really don't mean to insult that audience. I have nothing against a story with a love interest- love is a big part of life- but when it is the main point of the story, I'm bored.

I want stories about family tension, complicated friendships, identity, grief. I love Celeste Ng, Elizabeth Strout, Claire Lombardo. Recommendations welcome.
