What is Contemporary/Realistic Fiction?

Books in the contemporary fiction genre are made up of stories that could happen to real people in real settings. The books do not fall under other categories or genres. They usually take place in the same time period the reader is living (the present), with things that are currently, or could be happening, in the same time period. [Book Genre Dictionary]
