I just finished this book and I did not find there was a lot of foul language or sexual content. In fact, I can't remember any foul language at all. Maybe Barnaby said something in anger? I honestly don't remember if he did. As for the sexual content, there were a few times when Hazel and Barnaby fell into bed together but there was no description of their activities there. One is left to one's imagination on that. Perhaps the other responder imagined more about what they did together than I did? Again, this was a VERY small part of the book - less than a footnote.

There are two answers to this question...one of you said there was and the other said there wasn't. What would be the age rating?

I was disappointed that there is a fair amount of sexual content - especially in the relationship between Hazel and Barnaby. I really didn't think it added to the story. There were also curse words and F-bombs, which also didn't seem to add to the story. It was a long book and I found myself skipping over some of it. A good story, but the sexual content and cursing did take away from an otherwise enjoyable read.

I'm listening to the audiobook right now. I'm on chapter 8 (15% through the audio book), and there have been 2 or 3 f-words so far. There was also a sex scene. At first I thought it was going to leave things to the imagination, but then there was a graphic description of the ending. (I'm trying to describe it in a clean way.)
I don't know how many more sex scenes there are, but it's put me off the book. I wish there was a way to know ahead of time without having to ask people online. I'm not against sexual content in books in general, but I personally find it unpleasant in most situations. If my feelings toward the characters are not sexual, I find it to be kind of like hearing very graphic details of a friend having sex. TMI.
