The shitty YA novel you are describing almost sounds kind of good compared to shitty YA girl novels. What about meaningless love triangles aimed at narcissistic wish fulfillment? Terrible dialogue that serves absolutely no purpose? Scene after scene of the main character picking out clothing and going to parties/balls? Beloved fairy tales shoved into the story in place of a plot? Infuriating cliffhangers and boring sequels? You are missing some shitty YA novel gold, my friend.
