I liked this one, but I'm an adult reader

The publishers are reading these books before signing them, right? This is the third Wednesday (young adult imprint) I have read coming out this year that is much more like new adult (18+ content) where the character is out of the house with a fledgling career already, and there are sexy scenes. As an adult, fine, but I'm conflicted as to what messages they're trying to send the (checks age recommendation) 13-18 age group?

How am I supposed to rate a YA book that I personally enjoyed but wouldn't give to the recommended age group? I think there are some good messages there too AND I'm not even sorry for cracking down on these new adult books marketing to younger teens

Two scenes in this book that have absolutely no influence on the outcome are absolutely unnecessary for the YA age group, so tell me just why include it? I am reading an ARC and I guarantee they won't be cut out for the final but if they are, I will redact this and rate the book
