Summer makes me think of beach reads and beach reads often have me turning in the direction of YA. There are plenty of articles out there arguing why you should or shouldn't read Young Adult fiction. I'm firmly in the camp who believes you should read whatever gives you enjoyment or from which you can learn.
YA is by no means synonymous with all things fluffy and frivolous. Think of the themes evoked in Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, for instance. Grief and loss, consumerism, good vs. evil, the role of family. YA can cover it all.
