I agree, and makes me feel better to hear others aren’t judging books with lower than 4 ratings harshly or it turning them off from reading. I find usually they’re doing more interesting things in terms of writing/structure/genre conventions.
Just means you’re not the target audience IMO. YA tends to be pacier and some adults still like reading coming of age stories. Some YA is absolutely beautifully written, just like some adult books aren’t well written. I read both and enjoy both. Younger doesn’t mean simplistic.
