NA - short for âNew Adultâ is an emerging category of fiction with protagonists aged 18-30. It is similar in theme to Young Adult fiction but explores themes within the context of a newfound freedom and responsibility that comes with being a legal adult often moving away from home. Such themes may include sexuality, gender, independence, identity, mental health, romance, drug use, alcohol use, education, familial struggles, career development, marriage, building families, and fear of failure.

Ok see you in a while, Iâll be in the NA section of the library.
