It would be great if you moved into YA. The YA authors I liked best as a teenager (and still enjoy as a twenty-something) were the authors who were brutally honest about their stories and characters - they didn't shy away from the difficult parts, or let their characters off the hook if they messed up - they let the story and the consequences play out. I appreciate the honesty in your storytelling (including the unreliable narrators) and I think it would really resonate with the YA audience.
