Everyone seems to have different answers on this, and I wanted to see if anyone had a definitive way of telling the fiction's category. I write by genre, but YA novels span over many genres. Is it a coming of age thing? Is it the age of the protagonist? Is it the language used?

Who has a definition?

There are multitudes of threads on this topic. You can search, but I believe one is still on the first or second page of this subforum.
