Lexicon: Young Adult (YA)

Young Adult (YA): a coming of age novel set in a fast paced world. Usually first person, leans more toward dialogue than description, and must have a relatable protagonist.

Can be read and enjoyed by adults.

Most popular genres are indigenous fantasy, romance, and realistic fiction.

Examples: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, The Selection by Keira Cass, and 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher.
