The YA Debate

What YA is: 

• Novels that are written and marketed towards a Young Adult audience.

What I feel the Characteristics are for YA:

• Faster pacing
• Unique coming of age stories
• Quick character pacing!
• Easy writing styles

This topic was brought up in a conversation I was having where one of my friends was bringing up the point that when we as reviewers call a novel YA it can come off as being derogatory, however that is not what most of us mean. 

• When I say a novel is YA I mean:
• It is fast paced
• Lighter/easier writing style
• Characters are driven by plot, not necessarily based on relationships and development.
• I do not feel that if I am to call a novel YA, I am simply reffering to the pacing and items listed above, i do not mean to attack them...
