I think my challenge is that it isn’t a genre, it’s a demographic. It’s somewhat insulting to young adults to believe the only novels they should consume conform to the genre as you’ve said.

Good books are good books. I’d rather they start slapping PG-13 on books instead of designing an entire YA “genre”.
