Why Is It ALWAYS 17? (Problematic Age Gap Books)

This is a list of books featuring a romantic relationship that has a problematic age gap. Title is because I realized so many stories like this had a 17 year old MC, but that fact isn't true for EVERY book on this list. Also, some of these books are commentaries on these kinds of relationships but MOST are NOT.
