Replica by Jenna Black - NO

Black, Jenna Replica, 365 pgs. Tom Doherty Associates, 2013. Language - R (139 swears, 10 "f"), Sexual Content - PG-13; Violence - PG-13; 

Nate's never been an ideal citizen, but he never thought any of his actions would result in his murder. Fortunately for him, his status as the Chairman Heir gives him a second chance at life as a replica of his former self and an opportunity to find his killer. But finding someone who doesn't want to be found leads to taking more risks than usual--with more than his reputation on the line. 

While the whole replica process and the switch during that part of the book was a little confusing at first, I found the story captivating. However, I have a problem with how some of the story was presented. First off, the swearing got completely out of hand as the book went on. And secondly, while the sexual content was not explicit enough to warrant an "R" rating, there were a lot of implications that made me uncomfortable when I was reading.
