I know what you're thinking. Of course Young Adult fiction would have a teenage protagonist. That just makes sense. But, is there is rule out there or some reason not to make the protagonist older? As in like early to mid twenties?
I ask because my style of writing is more YA than strictly Adult but if I make my protagonist in her teens, it would make almost no sense. So I aged her up to 21, which is still an impressionable and vulnerable age for some people.
So, is 21 too old for YA?
