Bethann Martin asked this question about
Grasshopper Jungle:
Why do movies get R ratings for using the "F-bomb" but write a book wabout teenagers and call it YA or teen book, fill it with crude language and it's perfectly accepted and even lauded?
Patrick
I think the problem comes down to this book was labelled as YA, but really is more of a New Adult novel.
