that's one i haven't read, though i'm intrigued by it! i'm mostly a new earth gal as well and have only sporadically kept up with comics in......... oh jesus it's been 12 years since the n52 i feel old
omg yes! okay so--her solo book is generally pretty good, though the beginning is rocky so i'd start with issue #23. there's some good stuff before it but it's book-ended by very WTF stuff.
(the main issues i love from before that are 9, 12, and 20. the former two are the more rounded out look at her somewhat bratty "i don't know what to do with my life because i don't feel like a hero" phase immediately post OYL where she's besties with owen mercer.)
a significant chunk of the later issues technically intersect with the new krypton story arc that might be a bit confusing without context? but iirc the bits she mostly shows up for are in action comics and the specific new krypton minis.
superman/supergirl: maelstrom is a fantastic miniseries and it has art by phil noto which is always a plus.
her run with the JLA is a bit of a mess (#45-60) but it's got some cute moments and it leads into reign of doomsday which... i'll be honest i didn't read all of but the end of it has some choice kara moments and superman/batman annual #5 is full of good kara and dick content.
the brave and the bold #4 technically is in the middle of a bigger story but you don't really need to know all of it to appreciate the hilarity that is kara and lobo teaming up
outside new earth!kara, i cannot recommend supergirl: woman of tomorrow enough. it's got gorgeous art and pitch-perfect kara writing.
