The main character is a wholesome girl, as are most of the girls and the two main men in the books are very gentlemanly and respectful. Yes, it is done in a somewhat tasteful and clean way but it is very much there! As I am reading these books, I could not believe that my daughter had already read this!!!! We will be having some talks about what was read, for sure. There is alluding to sex and sexual behavior throughout. There is VERY heavy making out and petting throughout all of these books. I can’t believe that parents barely even mentioned it. But, please beware! The “sex” rating on these should have been much higher. Let me say that yes, this a a wonderful series and a wonderful story line and we both enjoyed them very much. Had I read them first, I would NOT have let her read these!! I let her read these books first and then I read them. After reading these reviews, I knew there would be some mature content but it was mild and I was confident she could handle it. I got these for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas. And the parents saying it is ok for a 10 year old? Even 13 year old? Maybe I am a little over protective but maybe there are other moms as well who would appreciate my honesty. I would have to say, with this series, that they really dropped the ball. I love common sense media and I use it religiously when reviewing movies and books for my kids.
