Strong minded as in people can’t tell them what to do but thinks about others A LOT. Adult contemporary or literary fiction please. I have examples of what I mean:
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli,
Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen,
Everybody in this Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin,
The Faint of Heart by Kerilynn Wilson,
Black Girls Must Die Exhausted trilogy by Jayne Allen,
Yellowface by R F Kuang,
Rules for Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell and Katie Cotugno
