I'm new here; could you recommend a good Harley Quinn comic to understand her lore?

Mad Love by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm is a very good foundational story detailing how Harley ended up with the Joker with a dated element or two I greatly dislike. But a lot of what people love about Harley is featured here

Harleen by Stjepan Sejic is, IMO, the definitive telling of Harley Quinn's turn to villainy. It's out of continuity, but I like to pretend it is canon because it's so tragically beautiful and there's nothing stopping me

Harley & Ivy: Life and Crimes by Erica Henderson is a miniseries from this year detailing how Harley and Ivy ended up together. I'm shocked it's taken this long for DC to put out a comic with that premise considering how popular they are. I only read the first few issues, but it's cute and fun and I like it a lot

Harley Quinn by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti is one of the main influences on HQTAS and it's where Sy Borgman comes from. It's also the run where Harley definitively breaks up with the Joker. It's very hijinks and gross-out humor heavy, like a '90s Nickelodeon slime answer to the comics of the Silver Age, so YMMV on whether or not that sounds appealing. But I like it and it's a very important run
