Ask Jerry
Genre: young adult vs new adult
Asked by Candice Brown on April 15, 2020
My mc is 15 for the first 3 chapters, 19/20 for the rest of the novel. Would it be classified as young adult or new adult? It deals with edgy themes, including drugs and trafficking, but nothing is explicit.
Jerry's Answer
That would be YA, Candice, for readers 14 and up who like to read about characters older than they are.
