See story here: New Study: 55% of YA Books Bought by Adults
I know I buy YA books if they look good (and a lot of them are). Contrary to what a lot of people think, there doesn't seem to be any limit on subject matter, either in terms of 'dark' themes, sexual content, drug use, and the like. I've seen fairly explicit depictions of all of the above in YA books.
Is YA v. Adult a distinction without difference? It seems like the primary factor is the age of the protagonist.
