Found this article today, a hilarious defence of genre fiction:

If you haven't read much YA supernatural romances, you won't. I had a laugh about it, although I sincerely dislike the genre.

Ive not really read much YA.

I read most YA as an adult/late teen as well. When younger I just read adult fiction.
