A window into new places, circumstances, and ideas

An escape when you want to get away from everything

Innovative and full of controversy

A way to feel not so alone

Full of hilarious tropes and plot lines

The best way to emotionally destroy yourself (because fictional characters, duh)

The best way to convince everyone you are crazy because you laugh out loud or cry in public

The fastest way to fall in love with imaginary people (I’m looking at you, Rhys)

A way to connect with, understand, and even remember your own teenage experience

A gateway to falling in love with reading, just like I did

To me, Young Adult Literature is home
