in the Young Adult section of Barnes & Noble. She said,
"oh those books. Those are for junior high." She said that she and her friends read adult books.

She probably got that impression because the books often on display are the ones with the pink covers and the titles that include the words "boobs" and
"butts." The really good reads are oftentimes not as popular, as say, the GOSSIP GIRL series or its many knockoffs.
