A sort-of mainstream lesbian novel with "my well-off parents hate me, and don't seem to like each other, and all my father cares about is money and business, and nobody in my family ever had a real conversation while I was growing up"
reminds me of Slow River. Thinking of the recent past being a foreign country, when I first read that one, the science and business felt perfectly ordinary. What felt alien was having everybody casually accepting of lesbian relationships. It's not just that nobody is closeted about their sexual orientation--they never have reason to consider it. That's changed a lot.
