The Paper Boys

3.5 stars. Very cute and very British contemporary M/M romance between the posh scion of a respectable newspaper family and the scrappy, chip-on-his-shoulder tabloid writer with lofty ambitions. There's a lot of banter, more vomiting than I would have liked, mutual heart-eyes, and a frustrating but somewhat understandable failure to communicate. Loses half a star for inexplicably underplaying some shady behavior by the father of one of the MCs and the death of a secondary character. Maybe it's a “keep calm and carry on” British thing, or maybe the author didn't want to inject too much angst into what is otherwise a lighthearted read.
