From my experience analyzing popular genres, the distinction rests primarily on implied readership and life stage. I have seen Chick Lit focus on adult work, relationships, and social independence, while YA centers on formative identity under adult constraints. I would recommend avoiding purely thematic distinctions, since overlap is common. What matters most is narrative perspective, stakes, and assumed reader experience rather than surface content.
