10 Best Parent-Child Drama Young Adult books Testing bonds between Parents and Childrenの表紙

Hey there, bibliophiles! Buckle up for a roller coaster ride of emotions because we're about to dive into a list of heartwarming and gut-wrenching young adult novels that throw the spotlight on one of the most complex, vital, and indeed, beautiful relationships in the world - that of parents and children.

These are not your typical feel-good, 'happy ever after' YA novels. Picture drama, conflict, and raw emotions. Think of bonds being tested to their limits and the enduring ties of love and kinship that refuse to snap. Lessons learned, wisdom gained, and the mutual power of understanding, compromise, and acceptance that is the essence of every parent-child relationship.

From the poignant complexities of adolescence to the relentless trials of parenthood, our top 10 picks explore it all. Struggles and joys, obstacles and triumphs, humor and heartache – everything that makes this bond, both extraordinary and challenging.

While there's no denying that these stories will tug at your heartstrings, they will also leave you with a distinct sense of hope and warmth, and a renewed appreciation for the bond that you share with your parents or children.

Ready to take a deep dive? Trust us, these books are worth the tears and emotional investment!

『The Last Thing He Told Me』

The Last Thing He Told Meの表紙

Don’t miss the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick that’s sold 3 million copies strong—now an Apple TV+ limited series starring Jennifer Garner! The “page-turning, exhilarating” (PopSugar) and “heartfelt thriller” (Real Simple) about a woman who thinks she’s found the love of her life—until he disappears. Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother. As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared. Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated. With its breakneck pacing, dizzying plot twists, and evocative family drama, The Last Thing He Told Me is a “page-turning, exhilarating, and unforgettable” (PopSugar) suspense novel.

『Twice as Perfect』

Twice as Perfectの表紙

A Young Adult novel by Louisa Onomé, Twice As Perfect follows a Nigerian Canadian girl dealing with an estranged older brother, helping her cousin plan a big Nigerian wedding, and pressure from her parents about her future. She thinks the only things worth doing are those that will lead to success. For seventeen-year-old Adanna Nkwachi, life is all about duty: to school and the debate team, to her Nigerian parents, and even to her cousin Genny as Adanna helps prepare Genny’s wedding to Afrobeats superstar Skeleboy. Because ever since her older brother, Sam, had a fight with their parents a few years ago and disappeared, somebody had to fill the void he left behind. Adanna may never understand what caused Sam to leave home, but the one thing she knows is that it’s on her to make sure her parents’ sacrifices aren’t in vain. One day, chance brings the siblings together again and they start working to repair their bond. Although she fears how their parents will react if they find out, Adanna’s determined to get answers about the night Sam left—Sam, who was supposed to be an engineer but is now, what, a poet? The more she learns about Sam’s poetry, the more Adanna begins to wonder if maybe her own happiness is just as important as doing what’s expected of her. Amid parental pressure, anxiety over the debate competition, a complicated love life, and the Nigerian wedding-to-end-all-weddings, can Adanna learn, just this once, to put herself first?

『You Have a Match』

You Have a Matchの表紙

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A REESE'S BOOK CLUB WINTER YA PICK INDIE NEXT PICK A BEST YA PICK OF 2021 BY POPSUGAR * PARADE A new love, a secret sister, and a summer she'll never forget. From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and friendship... When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree climber. Best friend to Leo and Connie...although ever since the B.E.I. (Big Embarrassing Incident) with Leo, things have been awkward on that front. But she didn’t know she’s a younger sister. When the DNA service reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star Savannah Tully, it’s hard to believe they’re from the same planet, never mind the same parents — especially considering Savannah, queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby herself. The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp (obviously) and figure out why Abby’s parents gave Savvy up for adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp’s co-chef, putting Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a secret that threatens to unravel everything. But part of life is showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the best ones. “A YA contemporary set at summer camp? Count us in.” —BuzzFeed “Heartfelt and engaging, You Have a Match is a masterclass on love in all its forms.” —Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated and Perfect on Paper “A bright summer tale of connection and self-discovery.” —Booklist “A cute, feel-good coming-of-age story.” —Kirkus

『Reconstructing Amelia』

Reconstructing Ameliaの表紙

Stressed single mother and law partner Kate is in the meeting of her career when she is interrupted by a telephone call to say that her teenaged daughter Amelia has been suspended from her exclusive Brooklyn prep school for cheating on an exam. Torn between her head and her heart, she eventually arrives at St Grace's over an hour late, to be greeted by sirens wailing and ambulance lights blazing. Her daughter has jumped off the roof of the school, apparently in shame of being caught. A grieving Kate can't accept that her daughter would kill herself: it was just the two of them and Amelia would never leave her alone like this. And so begins an investigation which takes her deep into Amelia's private world, into her journals, her email account and into the mind of a troubled young girl. Then Kate receives an anonymous text saying simply: AMELIA DIDN'T JUMP. Is someone playing with her or has she been right all along?

So there you have it, folks. Ten of the finest, most emotionally resonating Young Adult books out there that intricately delve into the intricate universe of parent-child relationships. These narratives don't pull any punches; they're raw, honest, and at times, downright messy, just like real life. Some might tug at your heartstrings more convincingly than the most soulful country song, while others might make you question everything you thought you understood about good, bad, and all the areas in between. The protagonists aren't infallible heroes. They're real, grounded characters with sentiments and reactions that will seem pathetically familiar to any of us. These books will challenge you, upset you, and most importantly, make you press the pause button on life to muse. They test the resilience of bonds, the elasticity of love, and our own perceptions of the parent-child dynamic. If you have the guts to face the real truths of such an important aspect of life, every single one of these reads is more than worth your time. They'll turn your world upside down and perhaps serve as the catalysts for much needed conversations. Keep your tissues handy, you’ll need them!
