I still remember The Hunger Games being marketed as a YA ROMANCE.

Because it is? It’s written like a young adult romance book. I took the book blinldy after reading it’s a take on Battle Royale and it took 10 pages to know that I am too old for this style of writing.

I’ve seen Maas’ A Court of Thorn and Roses in the children and young people side at library.

In my country it’s marketed and categorized for 11-12 years old, and given the excerpt I read, from a writing style perspective, this is completely fitting.

It’s simple: getting recommended a book just to find out that the author thinks I have the reading ability of a teenager 5 pages later is frustrating.

People not highlighting YA stuff is the main reason I don’t frequent this sub as frequently anymore.

It would be incredibly helpful if people would do that. I have no problem with YA, I just don’t want to read it.
