I also appreciate you classifying it properly, I just think a few nips and cuts to the description would take care of the concern without really losing anything for the potential reader. I don't mean to perpetuate the point or sidetrack the thread, I have had my say and will let it rest (hoping to have slightly influenced the process, of course).
Even if she clipped the description, there's nothing stopping the (hypothetical) kid from downloading the book to their Kindle. Worse, what if they read the edited description and thought it sounded good (alot of girls read Harlequin-ish novels). Instead of reading a paragraph of kinky filth, they would read 201 pages full of it.

I've never been a fan of the "it's for the children" argument but it's up to koland whether she's edits her post. If I was her, I wouldn't change a thing.
