I was just looking at a notification of new books out and started to wonder about the young adult and new adult categories. It seems to me that any novel that does not include sexual romantic scenes becomes young adult lol. The level of reading of many of the so called young adult novels are is not greatly different than that of other novels.

What exactly is it that makes a book young adult or new adult? Is it just a way to say less sexual? or what.

How does a book that is young adult and steampunk which SHOULD be a sub category of SciFi get tagged for purposes of statistics. For that matter where does a book like one of Busby's novels get placed? It's SciFi, Space Opera and romance lol.
