A SPOILER FREE reading vlog to answer the question: Can a 30-something enjoy a popular YA fantasy series?

Or, am I too old for this sub-genre of books?

Young adult literature targets ages 13-18 - which in itself is a large age range - but being in my 30's can I still enjoy it?? Additionally, how do you know a book is considered YA?

I am doing a reading vlog of the classic Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare to answer these questions. I am seeing how many stereotypes are true and if there are any surprises - which, there are!
