+1 I can't read most YA nowadays because of the second-hand embarrassment (so much of the stuff I get recommended gives off so much chuuni vibes). The last ones I read were the Cruel Prince and Not Even Bones and I could barely finish them, especially Not Even Bones which came off as pretentious.

Moreover, I don't understand what people mean when they say YA is easier to read. There's plenty of trashy low-brow adult fiction out there that doesn't take much brain power to read. The last two adult books I read were The Exile and the Sorcerer and Yinka, where is your huzband? and neither would considered particulary complex books or literary fiction.

I liked Not Even Bones. I though it got a bit pretentious when the characters (it was mainly just the love interest) said they refused to explain their evilness by blaming it on their abusive upbringing because that would be making excuses. I don't know if it was a deliberate Take That to the belief that Reason = Excuse (it doesn't) and that that's why redemption arcs are overdone (they aren't) but it felt like I was being called out. Those were really brief moments in the books though, and I didn't get any pretentious vibes from the rest of the story.
