Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG-13
Despite having the words "penis and vagina" (1.1) on the first page of Chapter 1, there's barely any sex or nudity in My Sister's Keeper. Both sex scenes happen off-page and amongst adults. The first is when Julia hooks up with Campbell for the first time since college. They're on his sailboat, and he takes off her sweatshirt and bra; Julia "feel[s] the water rocking the hull of the boat." (6.6.95) Well, Julia, when the boat's a rockin'…
The second scene is when Brian and Sara sleep in the same bed for the first time since the trial began. He "fills [her] with light and heat" (8.2.44) and Sara "realize[s] neither of us would be quite right without the other" (8.2.44). Both scenes are more about the power of sexual healing than titillation, and neither should result in more than minor blushing.
