New Adult Literature

Our new Curated Collection - New Adult Literature - is for readers aged 18+. This collection is an emerging sub-genre of literature marketed for readers in their late teens and early twenties who are all often missing from the pages of both Young Adult and Adult books. New Adult books (NA) explore many themes, including the transition from late adolescence to adulthood. They're considered the next step after young adult fiction and they're typically aimed towards readers aged 18-25.
