Virginity in Young Adult Literature after Twilight

by Christine Seifert

This book looks at how popular young adult literature fetishizes virginity. Christine Seifert examines how and why so much romance and dystopian fiction--the two most popular genres in YA lit--have focused on what she calls "abstinence porn"--a phenomenon that has broken out since the appearance of Twilight on the market.
