But as Louise said "Full-blown adulthood is clearly on the horizon and they surely see it looming." I love this aspect. With YA, the characters are still under the power of adults. With New Adult, they aren't necessarily that much more mature or experienced, yet they truly are the masters of their destinies. I love this genre.Donna K.
