It's used to refer to the "young adult" genre of novels: e.g. The Hunger Games, Harry Potter

Does Harry Potter really fit in that category? It's not exactly about a dystopian civilization that can only be saved by a random edgy teen who gets side tracked by awkward romances...never mind it fits.

As fas as I know, Y.A. isn't about dystopias but rather a book marketed at young adults in general and oftens contains some kind of coming of age storyline

I was 110% sure it stood for "Youth Adventure".
