I was planning to share with my 13 year old, since libraries are closed with this stay at home order, but after reading it, I will not be. There is too much casual sex and drinking going on between most of the main characters. There aren't graphic descriptions of anything, but just lots of mentions of sleeping with this person and that person, waking up to find another boy on the floor, etc.

There is some romance towards the second half of the book, but it's definitely not the focus. There is some sexual content as well, but nothing graphic or explicit. They're more like "closed door" sex scenes where you know what's happening, or what's just happened, but no overt descriptions of sex. In my opinion, any discussions of sex, sexuality or romance definitely serve character and plot development and don't feel extraneous.
Karen
Yes, people have all kinds of sex.

There are some romantic relationships, as well as some relationships that are more casual. One student has an ongoing affair with a school professor. Sexual content is fairly liberal, although not too descriptive; the characters mentions biting/tracing/noises that happen. One student mentions having sex without a condom in a bush.
