I'm about to make an unfair generalization, but I think YA authors sometimes get lazy because they don't think their audience will be as discerning about the quality of the actual writing.

I like YA as a break too -- I also tore through both books in The Hunger Games series. I think your critique of this book is one of the reasons I get skeptical of YA, it can sometimes be repetitive and hard to distinguish characters from one another. Although I'm sure the same charge can be leveled at adult fiction, so it might be a silly bias. Too bad this one didn’t work for you.
