Your response is brilliant. I just read the article to which you were responding, and I want to ask that author, "What crawled up your butt and died?" Especially regarding her commentary on TFioS. I help dying people for a living, do grief counseling, have led groups like that portrayed in TFioS, but of course, I'd have no interest in reading a book that offers an excellent treatment of various ways that both teens and adults deal with anticipatory grief. I don't roll my eyes at YA fiction, but I was sure rolling my eyes reading the article, and find your beautifully snarky response spot on.
