It's interesting because I actually had written down YA in my notes, but when I went to post this, I paused and said to myself, "No. That's not right."
I can see how one might make a cogent argument for classifying it as YA. But to me, the feel and the themes are mature (not in the sexual way, just... well, I don't know exactly). Part of my reaction may stem from the fact that if I had read this book as a kid, I don't think I would have liked it nearly as much as I did nowadays. But then, I still "count" as YA mainstream audience, don't I? Sigh. Age faster, self.
