Hiii, are there any graphic scenes (more than kissing)? If yes, how explicit?

There is some kissing but the way it's portrayed is quite innocent and even kinda cute. Think puppy love.

The only things I can think of that would be noteworthy in the most minor way is

1. the mention of a woman's dress being sheer after jumping into the water and a man being startled by the sight of her.

2. some joking between men about a "courtesan" showing a young man a thing or two, but no specifics. Later it says the young man wouldn't go too far so as to not "give her his seed."

There is some violence as Lisa said but I'd say PG-13 is about right for this book. It's all quite tame. That being said, I really liked it and I hope nothing I mentioned puts you off of it, because it was such a great read. (:(less)
