Tracey's Triangle: It's Funny because he's a Magician and a Dickens Novel

Okay first things first,  I would like to clear up the term "Young Adult".

When you say 'young adult' two things pop in my head.

1)What I think a young adult is. 20-early 30's. you are...a young - adult right?

2) Young Adult (YA) The book store section: Twilight, and the like.

The section in the book store should read 'teen', the books for 13-19 year olds. TEEN, it's right in the number itself. Now I'm not saying other people can't read them, some are good, some not so good, some so bad it makes them good. But most all of them are about teenagers going through the hardships of
highschool,
boyfriends,
and acne.

Although it never seems to really be about highschool.

I mean the real highschool: the studying and homework, being corralled though overcrowded hallways, trying to open your locker, buy and eat lunch in the 15mins allotted.

Acne, they ain't about that. The kids they write about about and eventually make WB shows about (sorry CW shows) are always clear skinned beautiful, and even the token 'poor kid' has a clothing allowance that equals what i pay in rent.

So they're mostly about boyfriends.

That "I would die for you love affair."

They're always Romeo and Juliet romances.

I'm not talking about what people THINK Romeo and Juliet is about, the greatest love story or whatever.

I'm talking about the real Romeo. People always seem to forget that there was this chick called Rosaline. That's right people the only reason Romeo even met Juliet because he was stalking his exgirlfriend he was still madly in love with, Rosaline. 

And I know that they're families hated each other and what not, but like most things the real drama was brought upon themselves through miscommunication.

Don't get me wrong I am a young adult, and I like reading Young Adult. They're easy to read, easy to understand - no complex plot or thinking required. They are fluff and they are fun.

MY POINT - I wish there was a REAL young adult section in the book store. Not Jeff Shaara or Maeve Binchy. I want the story that's between Gossip Girl and Anna Karenina, Hunger Games and War and Peace, Harry Potter and David Copperfield, and I'm sure they are out there, can you just put them in one, easily located section, preferably with a sign, so I can find them?

The Right Side, The Wrong Side, and My Side.
