I can recommend two on the lighter side about growing up in the 1970s in somewhat dysfunctional families (like most!):

A Girl Named Zippy- by Haven Kimmel (small town Indiana- hilarious, laugh out loud, also has a sequel “She Got up off the Couch”)

Disaster Preparedness: A Memoir by Heather Havrilesky (Durham, NC, also very funny)
