So why is my 60 year old mother heavily into teen fiction now a days?
It started with the hunger games. I can understand that due to the pop culture associated. Then it went into pic related and similar "teen fights the system" series.
She has dementia.

These types of books appeal to women because there is some magical "chosen" one who is picked to save the world or be the object of some man's desire for whatever reason, women are stupid and easily insert themselves into that role in their heads. It's simple really anon.
The more I go out in the world, the more I find myself agreeing with Schopenhauer and Nietzsche about women

But the Hunger Games is about a girl who is propped up as a figurehead while not actually accomplishing anything herself, then everybody she cares about dies in the end.

And it all comes clear

Yeah, but she still finds love with an amnesiac baker who used to be infatuated with her. What more could a woman want?
>>9411896
Maybe she wants something that makes her feel young again. Most if these books have some elements of growing up and teenage love.

Well, to be intellectually honest I have to say that anime is the same thing but with sexes swapped. And anime is the most manly form of art.

If I had to deal with you I'd also spend my golden years reading teen books
