BookTok and Gen Z - Are young people saving the book market? | DW Documentary

BookTok turned romance-heavy 'New Adult' novels into a publishing phenomenon, and this film follows the young women driving it: a blogger who meets fans at a castle book ball, an author writing frankly about ADHD and body image, and a couple who opened a shop devoted to the genre. It also sits them down against skeptical literary critics at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where the New Adult crowd is still fighting for legitimacy.
