New Adult Literature

Our new Curated Collection - New Adult Literature - is for readers aged 18+ to late twenties. This collection is an emerging sub-genre of literature for young readers who are all often missing from the pages of both Young Adult and Adult books. New Adult books explore many themes, including the transition from late adolescence to adulthood.
