Okay, so I'm thinking of writing a book that includes six adults just in the middle of starting their lives in the crazy wilderness winter of NYC. They have plans set out for the future and wants, and they want to achieve them. A few also find out that what they want really isn't what they want. Now, what genre would this book fall under? If you could put it in two genres other than Young Adult. I'm having a really hard time deciding this and... well it's driving me nuts!

You could write that sort of plot in many styles and many genres, depending where you put your emphasis. But I would suggest writing it as you want to write it, and let the booksellers worry about genre.I haven't read much Tom Sharpe, but I read one book of his in which all the characters got what they set out to get, and in each case it was wrong for them and left them in misery. His genre is black humour, too black for my taste.

Thanks. I guess I will. It's just the website I put it on asks what genre it would be and I have to select two, and I don't want to attract the wrong readers but I guess it really doesn't matter, right? A reader is a reader.

That's cuz you're white. Aren't you?I agree, let the bookseller worry about genre. Heck, they might even label it as "unclassifiable."
