Hi. I'm doing a personal project on this topic and was looking for books that has a woc/black female character dealing with a problematic, twisted or complex romantic relationship. This relationship can be complex due to whatever reason (toxicity, taboo, intersectionality) all genres are welcome. i also don't have any issue with trigger warnings so feel free to rec whatever extreme stuff you know.
Some examples i know of are : kindred & Lilith's brood (Octavia butler) In the dream house Luster The vegetarian

The Color Purple by Alice Walker, maybe?
*Girl woman other* by Bernardine Evaristo has lots of relationship complexity.
Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase. I’m reading this right now and so far it’s exactly what you describe.
