Hang on, question. How YA unsuitable is it? I mean, is it full of things that kids would be bothered by or bored by? Because these days adults are reading YA anyway, so a YA-ish title without a YA cover would seem OK for that, but if it's something that encourages kids to pick it up and then they hate it -- well, I'm never going to forgive Thomas Mann or Kafka for giving The Magic Mountain and The Castle such alluring titles and then having those books inside.
