Why are YA Novels an UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT now?

Are you tired of shallow romances and stories with no hero? Well, we are too! Adalyn (age 15) is so passionate on that topic, so Esther (age 14) and Angelica (Esther's mom) let her vent and threw in our 2 cents in this episode. We discuss the perks of YA, the worst parts about it, why Middle Grade books are so great, and how we would renovate the industry. We get next level controversial on some takes, but have the popular vote on others and–most of all–we ourselves disagree some! We wanna hear your takes on this topic too, so drop a review or comment telling us your arguments. If you like our literature taste, go check out our freebie that has all our top 10 books combined into a master-list by giving us your email for future updates! Add to your TBR!
