In the last few years, a particular category of novels has become more and more popular, often born from the so-called fan fiction on the web. It's not exactly a literary genre, but a target indicator: we're talking about New Adult novels. What is it about? If you know at least a little about the movie After (2019) on Netflix , your ideas can start to clear up.
After (2019) --> Not to be confused with Young Adult, this term refers to all those novels – self-contained or spread over several volumes – addressed to a barely adult audience, generally from 18 to 30 years of age: the age of work, university and love more mature, no longer adolescent, without ever neglecting the sexual sphere in a more explicit way. These long stories deal with the changes of the more mature age, those - precisely - of the so-called "new adults". Let's find out which are the 5 best New Adult novel titles, ideal for approaching this particular literary vein.
