The book is quite mild, but the rating was pushed up because someone gets shot “onscreen”. I don’t remember anyone swearing with a deity, and anyway this author always blots those out with dashes if she even includes them. Other than that, it was also bumped up because a lot of adults get drunk at a party in the beginning of the book.
