Best and Worst Mother and Daughter/Son Relationship

hosted by the Broke and the Bookish

This week, in commemoration of Mother's day, I'm going to list books with both great and bad mother and child's relationship. Without further ado, here they are :

BEST

Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan

if you don't think Sally Jackson is the best mom ever i'll fight you. i mean, she literally married someone she dislike just to protect her son! i'm so glad she found happiness in the end because she deserves it.

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

not an actual mom but Charlotte Branwell is basically the mother of london institute's inhabitants. she loves them like her own child no matter how "bad" they are (*cough* will *cough).

It Started With Goodbye by Christina June

again not a mother but it's Tatum's step-grandmother. She's so cool and wise and understanding and will make you wish why can't you have a grandmother like that.

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

there are a lot of moms in this series but the one that i choose is none other than Molly Weasley! she's definitely not the perfect mom and has her own flaws, but she cares deeply for her children and Harry.

Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter

i love the relationship between Cammie and her mother! they're not super close, but they care and love each other. there are ups and downs between them, which makes it more real.

WORST

Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard

Elara (is the name right?) could won if there's a worst mom award. not only she's manipulative and just purely evil, she didn't hesitate to use her own son to make sure her plan goes well (i still believe Maven could be a much better person if his mom isn't Elara)

Geekerella by Ashley Poston

since this is a retelling of cinderella, of course the step-mother here is bad.

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

it's been so long since i read this book that i barely remember anything, but i do remember the mom here always judging people everywhere.

Fairest by Marissa Meyer

i know Levana isn't a mother but if she had any child i have no doubt she would be the worst mother ever.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

i haven't actually read the book yet but i watch the tv show and i have to say that Justin's mom is the worst there. She literally abandon her son for her (cruel) boyfriend. There's one scene there between him and his mother that got me teared up (i'm sure you know which one if you've watch the show).

have you read any of these books? if so, do you agree? also recommend me some books with great family relationship since i haven't read many of those 😊
