Maybe this is unfair, but I've never even attempted her work because I thought... well, if I wanted that style of writing with all the fandom stuff and tropes, I'd just... read fanfic? From fandoms that I enjoy? And not that.

There are adult genre books!

(Not to make it all about me but I'm publishing an adult fantasy and I'm frustrated with everyone who assumes it's YA because YA fantasy is the only thing anyone knows.)

Sturgeon's Law, OP. 90% of anything is crap, but a lot of times the crap ends up becoming popular anyway. I looked back at a bunch of the books I read when I was a kid and let's just say they really didn't hold up that well now that I'm an adult. I loved them when I was younger and thought they were great! ... they actually were not that great, I just had rose-colored glasses on.

I liked the first Simon Snow book more than I was expecting to, but was disappointed with the second. Still, I'm going to read the third at some point.

(Anonymous) 2021-12-15 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
YA has grown a lot more in recent years with more choices in genres and representation - but I wouldn't pick the Simon Snow trilogy as a good example.

They were fun to read; mainly the first one since I went in knowing that it was essentially a Harry Potter slash fic - and although I enjoyed reading the latter two books, I absolutely hated the endings.

(Anonymous) 2021-12-15 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you might be "outgrowing YA" or you might be having bad luck with book choices lately?

Personally, I don't read a lot of YA anymore, but it is because I'm getting older and finding it harder and harder to read about teenage characters, because their frames of reference are just not the same as mine, and seem increasingly limited to me, also in terms of tehir experiences, but if the book is good enough on the plot and character level, I can still enjoy it despite it? That's what I would call "growing out of YA".

As a similar fandom shiny shiny (minus the relationships because I just read fic and do not interact lol) I get you, but it seems like you do well on maintaining the relationships!

As a side note, I have never gotten a Tumblr and after someone here mentioned finding discord servers via tumblrs I was super bummed when a fic writer's Tumblr linked to a discord comm that was closed for applications :((( so at least you're finding community OP

Same, OP.

Notwithstanding his early questionable writing, I genuinely, unironically love Neelix as a character.

Data, I'm 'meh' on at best, and the show's obsession with shoving him down my throat every other episode tips him over the edge into flat-out annoying as hell.

No shade on Spiner, whom I've thoroughly enjoyed in other things.

Why do adults read YA books?

I understand that YA can be well-written, and that there are things YA readers want in their reading material that they feel they can reliably get from YA books and not from other genres. So I guess my question is really: what are those things that readers can only get from YA books? And why is it impossible to find those things in non-YA fiction, or simply make adult fiction that includes those things?
