So much this!!

Gates is also not specifically YA. Its pacing is definitely not aimed at YA.
It is ‘clean’ ( a phrase I hate) purely because of the style I was aiming at. Not for any other reason.

I’ve seen so much entirely inappropriate shelving of many women author’s books.

And as a corollary, it would be really nice if reviewers didn’t keep calling adult books written by women YA. I lost count of the times NETTLE & BONE got described as YA. The heroine is THIRTY. I wrote it for adults! It is fine if teens want to read it, but it’s not YA and that is FINE.
