As far as I can tell, the only real definition for YA lit is that protagonist should be a teenager dealing with the various problems of adolescence. However, I can think of a few recent books with teenage protagonists that were primarily marketed toward adults. I'm thinking specifically of Special Topics in Calamity Physics and Prep, although I'm sure there are others.
Can anyone here explain why these books are considered adult lit rather than YA?
