The adult genre bridges the gap between young adult and adult fiction, focusing on characters in their late teens to throughout their 20s as they navigate the transition into adulthood. These stories tackle more mature and complex topics than young adult fiction, delving into themes like sexuality, mental health, identity, abuse, independence, and the challenges of entering the adult world. Please note, this category of novels may also include sexually explicit themes, which is often referred to by readers as ‘spicy.’
