This question came up in the course of one of my classes as I work towards my MFA. I write YA, and I read YA, but having to express why has been difficult for me. I've read articles by others who have researched who reads YA and even seen some answers when someone asked on social media why others read YA. Some of their answers partially rang true for me, but no one gave an answer that 100% fit why I read YA, so I thought I'd give it a try here in an ungraded form.
What appeals to me about YA...
