It’s there, including some that feels a little excessively lovey-dovey (a lot that has romance has similar), and some sex scenes. In terms of the level of them it’s more than innuendo but I’ve read more explicit. It more drives the characters’ actions, though. They’re making sacrifices and making hard decisions influenced by their emotional state from their relationships with other characters.

It’s hard to be more specific than that, though. I read a silly amount, but I don’t approach the 80-90% that’s fiction from an analytical perspective. I can give the broad strokes and could (though generally don’t) discuss why I think characters made decisions they did in the ones where characters feel 3D, but I don’t really do it in a way that I could compare different levels of different traits of books. I can find enjoyment out of a pretty broad range of style choices and complexity if there isn’t something glaringly off I can’t ignore. It’s only nonfiction I actually judge.
