Yes. Part of my exhaustion with this project came to be reading yet another denigration of YA. "I don't like YA" and "This was good for YA" and "I don't normally read YA, but". Because YA is a monolith. YA is full of women writers! Then there are readers who read a handful of titles and then write off the entire category as beneath them and after that if a book lands on their radar they suppose they'll stoop to read something YA, they guess.

So over it.
