Exactly how steamy is this story?
NC-17
Heads up: You're going to need to unbutton the top few buttons of your shirt while reading this book. You might even need to fan yourself at times, too. Depending on your inclinations, there might be some pearl clutching going on. And most likely, you'll need to take a cold shower after you're done. In other words, there's tons of sex in this book. Cal's grandparents literally rock the boat; Milton and Tessie practically pull an Alyson Hannigan with a flute; and Cal ends up having a sexual experience with a brother and a sister (although not at the same time). On top of that, we have graphic descriptions of Cal's unique genitalia, and they're on full display in the San Francisco underwater sex carnival Cal becomes a part of. Yes, we really just used the phrase "underwater sex carnival." You know that's why this book won the Pulitzer.
