It's post-apocolyptic SF. If you’re looking for YA where teens have more agency, try Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It’s post-apocolyptic SF.

Found it in my parents bookcase, a movie tie-in paperback with the movie poster on the cover. Loved it. Didn't see the movie until I was well into my 30s. Tatum O'Neal and I are the same age. I wasn't old enough to see the movie when it was released! There is a lot about that book that I still think back on to this day. Sometime in my teens, I read the book.

I find reason to quote that several times a year.

One can't help but root for this petty crime duo, even though morality might dictate otherwise. And for me, this author really created something special with the Addie character.
