New Adult fiction bridges the gap between Young Adult and Adult novels.
It's no secret that people of all ages love reading Young Adult (YA) books even though they're meant for ages 12 to 18, but New Adult (NA) fiction is the best genre you've never heard of.
Targeted at ages 18 to 30, New Adult bridges the age gap between Young Adult and Adult novels.
NA deals with common themes of self-discovery, emerging independence, and complicated relationships, but without the backdrop of high school hallways or impending middle age. Protagonists are college students and recent graduates - no college application angst. They have their own apartments - no white picket fences yet. Sometimes they're single parents. Sometimes they've never had a partner at all.
With its older audience, it can also take more risks than YA. NA often contains bold sexual content and explores mental health struggles like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide. There are also hints of subjects that would bore older adults to sleep but feel all too real to 20-somethings, like financial independence.
Here are 10 NA novels you don't want to miss.
