Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG-13
This book is sexy, but c'mon: it's French. That automatically makes it at least 20% sexier. The Stranger stops short at titillation, however. We get some rubbing and some fondling, but that’s as far as it goes. The content, however, is meant for a mature audience. Pimpdom, prostitution, domestic violence, existential crises—none of that is easily stomached and none of it is for the kiddos.
