He mentions things like losing his virginity, having relationships that were only about sex, and so on, but nothing more detailed than that. The only thing I found distasteful was his interpretation of the line in <i>Mansfield Park</i> about "rears and vices," which was a bit bolder than my own.<br /><br />I guess, if you're in doubt, ask a parent or other trusted adult to flip through it first and see if they think it would be appropriate?Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-29650601762479518462015-01-26T22:06:51.728-05:002015-01-26T22:06:51.728-05:00This looks really good, and I really want to read ...This looks really good, and I really want to read it, but you mentioned though how he mentioned his love life a lot.
