Also love family sagas - Black Cake, Ask Again Yes, and We are the Brennans have been some faves over the last few years. I also LOVED Miracle Creek, which not sure falls under family saga, but a multi-POV read that really makes you feel for each character.
Thrillers are also my go-to when I want something quick/less literary/palate cleanser (don’t know what it says about me that murder/suspense is a palate cleanser, but I digress): Have enjoyed The One by John Marrs, Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier, The Last Flight by Julie Clark. Some have content warnings, so if you have any triggers, would check into that first.
Ok, if you loved ACOTAR, you MUST read the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. First, look him up on Instagram--he's a brilliant, beautiful man who is obsessed with his dog. Second, I'm not a huge sci-fi person, but this is deeply engrossing, so amazing, such a wonderful reflection on the human experience and relationships and baggage. I feel like I don't have the words to describe how amazing this series is, but give it a go. Truly life changing.
Since you like generational/family drama I really think you’d like Emma Straub. She gets occasionally misplaced into chick lit/beach reads but like Sally Rooney (author of Normal People), she is much more literary. I recommend starting with All Adults Here!
Have you heard of the author Tana French? She writes mysteries/thrillers set in Ireland. I haven't read all of her books, but I really liked her Dublin Murder Squad series.
