Why do I love YA?
Story lines that aren't realistic with adults can be explored in YA. Adventures that take me back to my teen years, to my dreams and wishes, to the things I wanted to do or imagined might someday be possible, are all things you can read in YA.
YA covers all genres and sometimes breaks rules that aren't being broken in adult novels. It also "tends" to be less focused on sex and more focused on romance and those first flirtations, the possibilities of "when" and "if." These are feelings we've all experiences, questions we've asked ourselves in the past. Some regret the decisions they've made, others don't, but we have made them, and it's an experience we share.
Many fantastic authors have written YA novels, created stories that had no other outlet. Authors I've never heard of, as well as authors I've read in the adult genres. Sometimes it seems as if they've found voices they didn't have when writing adult novels, and that is refreshing.
Why do I love YA?
Because there are great YA stories, ones that suck me in, take me on adventures, sometimes even help me relive my teen years.
