Armchair BEA: Genre Missed

Just a thought I wanted to put out about missed genre, New Adult has become a new addition to the genre world although a lot of people get that mixed up with adult. Yes they are similar in title but they are not the same.

Adult vs. New Adult

Right now people are confused with the two genre and consider both of them the same thing but they're not, New Adult has a specific age group and it also focused on exploration of adulthood.

Anything can happen during the beginning of your adult life, you have first-time relationships, first-time experiences and you know a lot of first-times.

Adult is any age, most time authors have created a good background of their characters past. Then they focus on their present time for their characters than gradually build up the future to come. 

So you see they are not the same, authors that have written adult before often time clarify that it is not New Adult, yes there is adult content but its not new.

 

Here's are some New Adult books (Also on my TBR Pile)

Here are some adult books without it being consider erotica
