C Young adult(YA)fiction is traditionally aimed at teenagers.However,new research shows that a growing number of adult readers have been reading YA fiction since 2019.A study by HarperCollins found that 74%of YA readers are adults,with 28%being over 28. This trend is partly due to"emerging adulthood",where young people are growing up more slowly and delaying traditional adult life,often marked by feelings of instability.This has driven them to seek comfort in young adult fiction,a habit that many retain as they grow older. For many adults,reading YA is simply another enjoyable choice,just like picking any other book genre ()Some readers strongly defend the quality of YA,saying that many YA books are beautifully written and deal with important issues such as self-discovery,family,and racism Furthermore,YA books can serve as a form of"self-care".Many readers find these books more accessible than a lot of adult fiction.Because YA books are written specifically for slightly younger readers,reading for pleasure when a person is tired becomes less demanding.Besides, their plot-driven nature offers perfect escape from reality. The study also looked at younger readers aged 14 to 25.It found that 40%of those who strongly identified as a reader also described themselves as "very happy".This is much higher than the 21%of non-readers who felt the same way.Alison David,consumer insight director at HarperCollins,said the research"suggests wellbeing comes from more than the act of reading. The psychology of being a reader is enormously powerful."
