I really liked The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah. 5 stars from me!

I also read Everything, Everything by Nichole Yoon. For a young adults, it was enjoyable, but I gave it a 3/5 stars.

Room by Emma Donoghue was also interesting. Again, though, another 3/5 stars.

Do you mean you have only 4 books total on your TBR list or 4 books that would fit this month's genre discussion?

I think it's going to be a fun month of reading! :D

Spring by Ali Smith. Protective and undying love that’s shared between a young daughter and her immigrant mother.
It's a great read and the best of her Seasons Quartet Series

Oh my gosh I have two INCREDIBLE favorite books that focus on this topic!

"Room", by Emma Donoghue, and "Baby Teeth", by Zoje Stage.

These are two totally opposite stories of the relationships between mother and child, but both are very real, with incredible story-telling!

Btoh have great suspense, but if you want warm fuzzies while reading, go for Room.

If you want infuriating and horrifying while at the same time constantly being grateful for the lovely child you have in the real world, go with Baby Teeth. :lol:

They're both gripping and potentially true-to-life, edge of your seat "just one more chapter!" books. :shock:
