Very happy with my local bookshop expanding the teen section moving it next to adult fiction and poetry, and expanding children‘s fiction to include the space teen fiction used to have! I remember feeling I had so little choice when I started reading YA and now there‘s been this massive renaissance in publishing amazing quality stuff for young adults in so many genres. Happy that young people in my town are gonna have the choice I wished for

Megabooks So true! I don‘t like that every YA seems to have a romantic/sexual subplot, but the choices are so much better! (Sex is just because I‘m asexual, and that kind of YA romance/sexuality exhausts me to read, but I know I‘m in the minority. I realize most young adults need to see that part of themselves reflected in what they read. 👍🏻) 5y
Emilymdxn @megabooks I find that frustrating too - I still read YA books occasionally and while I‘m not against romantic and sexual plots I normally find them SO samey, like you get a really interesting original book and then the romance plot is so tropey and almost always the worst bit of the book. I wish authors would just consider if they genuinely have a good interesting idea for how to include romance. But then I get im not the target audience 🤷‍♀️ 5y
Megabooks @Emilymdxn Yes! I feel even when a queer relationship is explored, it‘s still written the same as a hetero one. But, like you said, I try not to be too hard on them because I‘m not the target audience. I just pick and choose carefully! 5y
