The Paper Boys
Don’t hold the front page. Hold the guy who wrote it.
Sunny Miller’s dream job on London’s Fleet Street has become a nightmare.
His boss at the Bulletin hates him, the sub-editors keep putting comedy headlines on his attempts at serious journalism, and he’s just been scooped by that posh bellend from the Sentinel, Ludo Boche.
Worst of all for this working-class boy from Leicester, the lads in London aren’t willing to date a guy who writes for Britain’s trashiest tabloid. Apparently, they have standards.
Up the respectable end of Fleet Street, Ludo Boche is literally making headlines.
He’s the son of the editor and the heir to an establishment media dynasty, so his success is assured—if he can stop singing showtunes long enough to get any work done, that is.
There’s just one everyone seems more interested in using his connections to get a job at the Sentinel than they are in dating him.
Sunny and Ludo come from different worlds. They are talented, ambitious, and in fierce competition for the same big story.
The last thing they should do is fall in love.
The Paper Boys is a gay romantic comedy ideal for fans of Red, White and Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material.

Boyfriend Material meets Playing the Palace in The Paper Boys. Think of Alexis Hall’s wit and banter, and the faster than fast pacing of Paul Rudnick in short chapters.
The Paper Boys is very British. While reading, I had these posh and working class British voices in my head, and I almost started reading out loud (luckily I didn’t because my accent is terrible). I think this one would do fantastic on audio.
I loved red-haired, green-eyed, freckled, outspoken, soft-hearted, in search of a husband Sunny. But even though he sometimes irritated me (I wanted to scream, "grow up," at these moments), I had a soft spot for blue-eyed, bespectacled, clumsy, ballet loving, anxiety ball Ludo.
Some of the side characters are fantastic. I adored Sunny's mom. And uncle Ben, sweet uncle Ben …
D.P. Clarence’s experience as a journalist is palpable throughout the story and I loved all the timely themes he used—e.g. climate change and political corruption. It upgraded the book from a fluffy one, lacking a bit of character depth, to one with meaning.
Sometimes I got a bit confused because of the British slang (I might be reading too many American books 😅), but that’s just a minor detail. Overal I really enjoyed myself and can’t wait for what D.P. Clarence has in store for us next!
Thank you so much, Dan, for the ARC!

3,75 stars.
Funny, sweet, fast paced, a bit whacky to be honest, but if you just go with it, this is a charming and entertaining read.
I had a great time watching Ludo and Sunny navigate their jobs and their slowly growing relationship. They were awesome together (Ps there's no on-page sex).
I didn't get all the jokes and references, and also didn't get used to the constant use of "jolly" (80x but it felt like there was one "jolly" thing on every page) but that's my personal issue.
There were so many awesome puns and situations, so here are some quotes:
"It was one of those moments where time slowed down, yet I could not react quickly enough to avoid disaster—like those dreams where you’re trying to run but your legs are leaden and you can’t move, even though Piers Morgan is right behind you."
"Dav and I grew up together. He’d been my best mate since year three, when Mrs Yates sat the (probably queer) new brown kid next to the (definitely queer) unpopular ginger kid, so the class bullies would have all their targets conveniently located in one place. "
"“You’re very passionate when you’re drunk,” I said. “And you’re very cute when you’re passionate.” “Studies have proven it time and time again,” Sunny said. “That you’re very cute when you’re passionate?” Which, on the spectrum of distant and professional to “I think you need a bit more lube,” definitely qualified as flirting."
" When I stepped out of the ballet studio, I felt like a million dollars. It was one of those jolly, bright late-April days when the sun has heat in it, the bluebells and tulips are out, and the trees have turned fully green, even in traditionally Conservative electorates where turning green is still punishable by hanging. "

Look, there's nothing wrong with the cover of The Paper Boys, it's nicely executed and all, but it screams "YA" and this novel is not YA: the protagonists are full-fledged adults who have real jobs and deal with adult problems. So ignore it. This is the important part:
Just as Morgan Hawes's Late Bloomer is the omegaverse novel for people who hate omegaverse, so The Paper Boys is the romcom for people who hate romcoms. This is because:
1. It's actually hilarious.
2. The comedy doesn't overshadow the characterizations.
3. The conflicts (working-class vs posh; progressive politics vs good-hearted but oblivious of privilege; professional rivalry; mutual mistrust for credible reasons [see preceding items in list]) aren't forced.
4. Another thing the comedy doesn't overshadow is the characters' genuine pain (aw, Uncle Ben).
5. The MCs aren't stereotyped six-pack types, but rather are obviously beautiful to each other. God, what a relief.
This is, very much, a British comedy, meaning that many of the jokes will require forbearance and Googling on the part of US readers. (I think it might help if you spent a chunk of your early adulthood reading P.G. Wodehouse while half baked, but maybe that's just me.)
Also, this is very much a British comedy, which is to say that some friendly American should explain to Mr. Clarence about The Dukes of Hazzard. I can't blame him for not knowing why a car named "The General Lee" and featuring a Confederate battle flag is disgusting, but I cringed at every mention of Dukes of Hazzard and so will any historically aware US reader, okay? (Mr. Clarence, if you see this review, you are wonderful and your book is wonderful and please for the love of all that is holy give Sunny a comedy touchstone that doesn't glorify treason in defense of slavery.)
From a plotting point of view, my one objection here is that there's a point at which it becomes ... surprising, let's say, that Ludo is still speaking to his father. You'll know when you get there. Otherwise, historical wince aside, this book is a delight from start to finish and D.P. Clarence is now an auto-buy.
Many thanks to @Daniel for the review, without which The Paper Boys would never have crossed my radar.

For about 65% of the book I was convinced this was going to be a 3 stars, mainly because, and I say this with all the love in the world for the author, but it was way too British, but like way way way towards much.
I think I read proper, jolly, golly in all the possible combinations ever and I hope I never have to see those expressions again in my life. Honestly, the story was good but it was a struggle to continue at times with all the slang and Britishness all over the place.
After I got resigned to continue I was able to appreciate the story and the plot that is actually good and has some interesting turns even if the angst is a bit predictable.

Sarcastic, cute and unapologetically British rivals-to-lovers romance!
Sunny and Ludo are young journalists starting their career, with the dreams and ambitions of every newcomer in the media, but significantlly diferrent backgrounds. Sunny comes from a poor working class Leicestershire single-mother family and has to work for a trashy tabloid (inspired by The Sun I presume) hoping to catch the eye of more reputable newspapers, while Ludo comes from a family of journalists and works for the newspaper in which his father is the editor.
The two main characters have alternating POVs with distinct voices, emphasized by Sunny's constant use (in his internal thoughts and his chats with his friends) of working class slang and northern slang, which makes the reader struggle to understand the expressions he uses and the menaing of a lot of words sometimes. Working class British idioms and mannerisms are weird! It's also part of the story, given that outward signs of this background has a negative impact to one's career, where "BBC English" is the norm. Ludo on the other side is insecure that people approach him as a path to his dad, not for who he is, and feels more comfortable in the high-society environment and code.
The path of Sunny and Ludo's evolving relationship from rivals to unwilling collegues to friends to lovers has them dealing with their trust issues and different class background, navigating the relationship between politics and media, and balancing their personal life with their work. The way the story pivots between these elements and the fluffy romance is perfect, the issues are tackled with sensitivity and realistic reactions without making the story heavy.
The side characters (parents, Sunny's friends, Ludo's godfather) are adding flavour to the story, and the overall portrayal of British media and politics is hilariously accurate, from the unpleasant editor to the snekay chief whip and the hunky aide to the minister. The story is witty, emotional, humorous and flirty at the same time, and has you rooting for the couple to get their happy end as you turn page after page.
Edit: Out now!

Sunny and Ludo are two reporters competing for the hottest story to hit the presses in some time. Despite an undeniable attraction, they continually butt heads until they decide to butt other things. This book is charmingly zany and contains the following: helicopter puking; much tea consumption; an accurate description of what reiki is; the word “jolly” many times; a bunch of missed calls because of hurt feelings; a dad who has the audacity. No puffins were hurt during this novel but it looked pretty touch and go there for a while. This is a bit like Divine Rivals but gayer, funnier, and with fewer children dying on the battlefield. A proper good time.

I was a bit all over the place with this book, there were some things that I LOVED about it, there were other things that I didn't like, there were some things that I found annoying and there was one thing that enraged me. I'm going with 4 stars though because I think most of my problems were ME problems.
What I liked:
-Very clever and funny- esp if you like British humor
-Great characters that both go through arcs
-Believable rivalry - although it was short lived
-Great side characters that really rounded out the story
-Lots of crying and emotions 🥺
What I found annoying:
-At times, I felt like the book was trying a little too hard to be clever and funny
-Lots of talk about sex but nothing on page 😢😭
-Apology scenes were disappointing
-the was disappointing
What angered me:
At about 50% the author sets up a very common trope (I don't what you would call this trope, maybe, trope?) In any case, I recognized the setup immediately, I feel like I've seen it in so many movies, but I could be wrong. I felt like the author could have done something more interesting with the story here, they're obviously incredibly talented.

Hilarious, profoundly British, clever and unapologetically queer, this enemies to lovers debut novel will make you laugh out loud, swoon, and even tear up.
I don't think I've ever laughed as much when reading a book. And while it's off the charts funny, the book is also expertly plotted around politics and corruption. Carefully exploring class differences and privilege, this story follows two competing political journalists chasing the same stories. While Ludo works for a prestigious paper and is very well connected, Sunny is making a living by working at a horrendous tabloid, despite his talent and aspirations.
Set in London around the coronation of the new king and queen, the book couldn't be more British if you asked. Even if I didn't really get all the historical and cultural references, I absolutely loved every second of it.
The romance between Ludo and Sunny evolved swiftly from rivals to friends to lovers, their chemistry was intoxicating (that first kiss was so darn perfect). The side characters were marvellous, and complemented the main characters perfectly. Looking forward to more Brent Boys shenanigans.
If you like otters, puffins and shags (the birds!), this book is for you. Ha! 😁

Near perfect. It’s sweet, and funny, and fade to black. Class and privilege play a big role in the relationship. The external plot is political without ever feeling like propaganda. There are no dull spots. The pacing was great. The jokes were everywhere. When I say it’s funny, I don’t just mean a laugh now and then, this toast is slathered with humor, it’s running down your arm as you try to eat it.
Regarding that “fade to black”, it’s not afraid of sex. There are references to—let’s call it an “advanced fetish” practice from someone you won’t be expecting it from. Sexytimes between the guys is more the they get started and it cuts away type of deal, not the sort of let’s pretend sex doesn’t exist thing you’d be comfortable giving to a child to read.
Speaking of young readers … I feel bad bringing it up, but that cover … no. I’m not against cartoony type covers on romance, but this particular one is giving very YA vibes, and quite frankly I don’t think it serves the book.
Our MCs are mid twenties. (Ludo 24, I can’t find Sunny’s age offhand, but I think he’s supposed to be a couple years older.) They’re journalists, not kids with a paper route. They’re sexually experienced, and the issues they’re grappling with are those of working adults, professionals. This is definitely not YA. I don’t think “New Adult” even fits. Sadly, I don’t think that cover is helping this book find its audience.
If I have any critique of the contents of the book, it’s that the internal/relationship conflicts felt like they got setup and resolved overly quickly, but despite that the book did not feel thin or too short. I feel like that was balanced out by the sheer quantity of obstacles he threw at them. Overall it felt like a more substantial book than most of the others I’ve read recently.
I’ve been very happy with most of my recent reading choices, but even among the five-star books, this stands out as one of the better ones.

You know those debuts you read and you spend half the time thinking “is this really a debut???” Yeah this is one of those.
.
Sunny had a rule. Don’t date another journalist. Never. Particularly one such as Ludo Boche, the new political reporter in the scene, likely handed the job by his father and reaping the rewards of privilege.
.
So what happens when the meddling hands of two parliamentary workers, Sunny’s rule starts to break. Throw in a major scoop, a betrayal, and multiple examples of why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and you have a book that I struggled to put down.
.
This is a highly enjoyable story, both Sunny and Ludo are equal parts endearing and frustrating and the cast of supporting characters are a dream. One can only wish for an Uncle Ben in their lives, and honestly I can picture Olivia Coleman playing Mrs Gallacher, primarily just to hear her say “fuckety-bye.”
.
If you’re after a cute story with great drama, and intriguing journalistic mystery, a smattering of will they/wont they romance and just the right amount of spiciness, then pick yourself up a copy of @danskireads debut out Feb 1 2024

Thanks to BookFunnel and the author, D.P. Clarence, for providing me with a copy of the book.
Sunny Miller, a working-class boy from Leicester with a degree in Journalism, tries his luck in London. His biggest dream is to become a part of Fleet Street's best ones. It is just that he can only find an opportunity at the Bulletin, known for its trash content, and its ability to pay bad, thus, always counting the money he's got in his pockets.
Not so far from where he lives, we find Ludo Boche from the posh part of London, working at the Sentinel, one of the most respected papers and where his father is the editor. He's got not only the best opportunities but also the best contacts at the Parliament.
And both of them have a rule: do not ever get romanticly involved with another journalist!
At first, I didn't get quite well what I had in my hands, but very soon I was involved in such an interesting romantic comedy, the kind your heart rejoices and aches at the same time for the successes and troubles these two guys have to face. It reminded me of the romantic comedy movies produced until around the 1990s, with that feeling that when you finished watching it at a movie theater, you were sure to have your heart overflowing with emotions. And this is the best thing about The paper boys, it unpretentiously wraps you and you finish the last line of the book with the sense that life can be really good! Salt of the Earth!

Aaaw what a wonderfully charming and funny debut novel!
Sunny (the rough northern but ultimately charming kid) meets Ludo (the extremely posh, clumsy but instantly lovable kid) during their line of work as journalists.
From there their story develops slowly - and not without their fair share of conflicts - but beautifully. I really loved the way the characters fell in love and how it was always the heart of the story. What made it a great book for me though, was the extremely intriguing investigative journalism storyline and the heartwarming side characters in form of Sunny’s friends, Dave and Bertha and above all uncle Ben. God I loved this character so much 😭:
‘I promise you this Ludovic: every day for the rest of my life - which may not be long, I grant you, with the booze and smokes and bacchanalia - will be dedicated to making sure you want for nothing, so that your life will be even more blessed than mine. And my life has been truly blessed. May you know good health and happiness. May you know success. May you know love, dear boy. May you have the wisdom to see how rare true love is, the good judgement to recognise it when you find it and the sense to hold on to it for dear life - and to fight for it when it’s slipping through your fingers.’ 😩
This story was romantic (‘“I love you, Ludo,” I said. And my heart felt full for saying it. “I know,” he said. “I love you, too, Sunny.” “I know,” I said’ 🥹) and super funny (kinda slapstick but it worked really well for me). I literally (not metaphorically) snorted my coffee out of my nose at some paragraphs (thanks Dan Clarence)* and swooned and cried at other parts of the story. That’s all you want from a good book, innit?
All in all I REALLY proper jolly enjoyed reading ‘Paper Boys’ and can’t wait for the next novel! 5⭐️
*The offending paragraph was: “This wasn’t just surreal. This was Salvador-Dali-shagging-a-horse-in Trafalgar-Square-while-Picasso-fingered-Max-Ernst levels of surreal”. But also the retelling of the ‘Les miserables’ desaster, the farting landlady on Shetland, Ludos clumsy accidents, the fisting conversations between Sunny and his mum (and so many more situations) made me giggle and LOL!
Sunny (the rough northern but ultimately charming kid) meets Ludo (the extremely posh, clumsy but instantly lovable kid) during their line of work as journalists.
From there their story develops slowly - and not without their fair share of conflicts - but beautifully. I really loved the way the characters fell in love and how it was always the heart of the story. What made it a great book for me though, was the extremely intriguing investigative journalism storyline and the heartwarming side characters in form of Sunny’s friends, Dave and Bertha and above all uncle Ben. God I loved this character so much 😭:
‘I promise you this Ludovic: every day for the rest of my life - which may not be long, I grant you, with the booze and smokes and bacchanalia - will be dedicated to making sure you want for nothing, so that your life will be even more blessed than mine. And my life has been truly blessed. May you know good health and happiness. May you know success. May you know love, dear boy. May you have the wisdom to see how rare true love is, the good judgement to recognise it when you find it and the sense to hold on to it for dear life - and to fight for it when it’s slipping through your fingers.’ 😩

What a funny & cute story! I was told that it's going to be hilarious, but I was laughing much more than expected😅
Absolutely loved both MCs, but Uncle Ben? And granny at the B&B?? ICONS. Stole my heart, both of them.
Amazing debut, looking forward to more of your books, Dan!

Yesssss, this was so so good! Okay, so I have a soft spot for anything about journalists at war and this absolutely did not disappoint! This book had the newsroom rivalry and instant chemistry of Cat Sebastian’s ‘We Could Be So Good’ combined with the tea-snorting British hilarity of Alexis Hall’s ‘Boyfriend Material’, with a side of the political shenanigans of Jax Calder’s ‘The Unlikely Heir’. All of my favourite books rolled into one perfectly unique, incredibly British and impeccably written novel.
Sunny Miller is a journalist from Leicester, living in London and working at the tabloid newspaper, The Bulletin (which has a lot of similarities to our, ahem,✨beloved✨ Daily Mail newspaper). Sunny is the political correspondent and dreams of writing ‘real’ hard-hitting, country-changing journalism. An unfortunate encounter with rival journalist Ludo Boche results in Sunny accidentally throwing his phone, and its open group chat with his delightful group of queer best friends, at the head of the chief whip, Vladimir Popov, who immediately enlists Sunny to delve into some juicy political secrets.
Ludo Boche is an absolutely gorgeous character. A ballet teacher at weekends and political journalist for well-respected broadsheet newspaper The Sentinel, for which his father is editor, during the week, Ludo is a complete disaster. Ludo is unable to walk into a room without causing chaos, walking into something or frustrating his arch-rival, Sunny Miller. Forced together at a highly questionable hostel during a press conference addressing a new political initiative to promote clean energy, the boys start to realise that they might have feelings for each other than intense rivalry.
This book was such a fun read with a wonderful cast of well-written side characters backing up Ludo and Sunny. It tackled some quite deep topics, such as corruption in politics, nepotism and class privilege. The characters really jumped off the page and the humour was on point - so funny!
This book is adult (both characters are in their mid-twenties) and the humour is definitely for a more mature audience! The romance in this book is fade to black, but the chemistry is off the charts!
I absolutely recommend this book - it is available on 1st Feb 2024! Thank you to the author for a free eARC of this book - all opinions are my own 💕

Sunny Miller managed to finally get a political journalism job, his literal dream. Unfortunately it's at the trashiest tabloid in all of London. His boss is a homophobic, misogynistic, racist and he keeps being given the crappiest assignments. But at least he's doing what he loves and this can just be a stepping stone into something better.
Of course his dream job at the much more respectable Sentinel is filled with (what Sunny sees as) a nepotism hire: Ludo Boche, the son of the editor. Sunny hates him on principal so, when the pair meet out on assignment, he's surprised at the feelings he starts to develop. Ludo and Sunny grow closer and try to decide if they can trust one-another enough to form a more meaningful relationship.
Through all of the political intrigue, breaking stories, and puking in helicopters, the pair circle each other and feelings grow. Can they find a way to have each other and keep their competitive jobs from getting in the way?
So to start I was a little weary of this read. The first few chapters slapped my American ass in the face. So much slang/its just all very British. This isn't a negative but it was definitely a gate that I had to force myself through. But OH BOY am I glad I did. Posh Ludo and secretly-soft council estate kid Sunny are such joys to get to know. I blew through this book (and the small bonus novella The Silly Season, which I demand you also read) so quickly, staying up way too late to finish it because I couldn't put it down. The side characters (Ludo's family and Sunny's friends) all feel unique and charming and I think> the author has plans for more books in this universe within Sunny's friend group (gosh I hope so).
The author has been a journalist so the political intrigue/breaking stories etc. all felt really plausible and genuine and interesting to try to figure out along with our boys.
The romance is just top notch. I love rivals to lovers. Ludo and Sunny are so fucking cute together. The spice is low, which is my preference, with mentions of sex etc. but all acts beyond kissing being closed door. Little ace boy (me) loves that.
The most important bit: this book is friggin' hilarious. I literally laughed out loud several times while reading this (much to the surprise of my dog who was snoozing next to me at the time). Sunny is so sarcastic and fun and Ludo is dry and witty.
I loved this book and definitely emphatically recommend any fans of romcoms to pick this book up.
Despite having received a free copy of this to review, I will 100% be buying a physical copy to add to my shelves; it deserves a place of honor and is a triumph of a freshman effort from the author.
Thank you to the author D.P. Clarence for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Wow! Another debut novel I absolutely loved!
It was so heartwarming, very british and really, REALLY fun read. I'd say, I loved everything about it: Sunny and Ludo were extremely cute and I didn't want anything bad happen to them. I was so invested in their happiness that the second I smelled the big drama, I had to put the book aside. I just didn't want them to suffer, okay?
So yeah, this book made me very happy. It should become with the warning not to read in the public place though :D I laughed out loud so many times that I can't count. The interactions between characters are great and organic, and the inner monologues of both MCs are even more funny. Yes, there were a lot of british words and some of their meaning was lost on me, but I loved it anyways. I really heard these voices in my head and it gave more vivid reading experience.
Author has a background in journalism and it shows. It's always nice to read a book where you can strongly feel the knowledge behind the text. I call it quality read.
Please, please, don't miss out on this one! It was like a ray of sunshine (hehe) on my dark days and I'll be forever grateful for that.
Thanks for the ARC!

4 stars with one off for the linguistic stone in my shoe.
I did enjoy this—the MCs were engaging (and, in line with the title, did act young, or at least not entirely mature), the story was entertaining (if a little predictable), and the political heart was largely in theright correct place. There's a leavening vein of humour running through the whole thing, and a genuine moral heart in Ben Diamond. Not sure why Ludo ever spoke to his father again, though.
But—and this is possibly a British thing—I fell out of the book every time Ludo said "jolly" (80 times) or Sunny "proper" (85) in place of "really" or "very". I get that D.P. Clarence was using the words as short-hand for "posh" and "comes from Leicester", but the characterisation was already sufficiently strong not to need the relentless hammering home. Not to mention that I find it hard to believe that Ludo (24) would use the speech mannerisms of an older generation*, or that Sunny wouldn't have shed regional words along with his regional accent. This grated.
(Also, drop the blurb reference to Red, White & Royal Blue. Please.)
*Three incidents of "bally", too. Jolly poor show.

3.5 rounded up coz the banter was *chef’s kiss* our mc’s were very wholesome and well rounded. i loved the dynamic between both of them and their families and had an overall good time with this.

Sweet, cute and featuring lots of fun British banter in a newspaper setting. However, I guess I’m spoiled for great books in that genre because it didn’t quite hit the scintillating witty spot for me. It’s still a good choice though if you’re in the mood for a light-hearted read.

September 8, 2024I rather enjoyed this story. A hard recommend for fans of very British, London-centric romances (think later, more commercial books by Alexis Hall).
The author clearly knows his subject - the world of London political journalism– and the story is fast-paced and fun. I loved both MC's, they both have vulnerabilities and are relatable. There are a great cast of likeable side characters and a good set up for expanding this into a series.
My quibbles: the rich man/poor man contrast of the two MC's is mostly well done, although the excessive use of the word jolly (rich MC) and proper (poor MC) became jarring. If someone from a working class background strives to lose their regional accent (as the poor MC explains) then he'll have also lost his use of vernacular and wouldn't say 'proper nice' etc. Similarly, I know loads of posh boys in their 20's and none ever say 'jolly nice'. Though they do like their cosy old cashmeres and I'm absolutely here for any MC wearing them. Finally, some of the cultural references suggest DP Clarence is a couple of decades older than his characters.
Despite that, I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next.

“I think if we trusted each other more, we could have saved ourselves a lot of pain,”………yes but then there would be no book.
Pros:
-Glorious British slang
-Many a LOL
-Loveable side characters (looking at you Uncle Ben)
-The bit where Sunny drops his phone and has his messages read
-reading this with my buddy Wyn
-Sunny and Ludo falling in Jolly proper love
Cons:
-Miscommunication trope
-boring political stuff
-Hugo
-Fade to Black intimate scenes

D.P. Clarence's The Paper Boys is pure, unadulterated fun.
Sunny Miller and Ludo Boche, their friends and family, and all the Members of Parliament who appear in this story are wonderfully developed.
This is a rom/com that is truly a rom/com - not just another novel filled with page after pager of gratuitous sex to increase a book's page count.
Clarence has written a near perfect M/M romance.

This new to me author wrote a bloody brilliant book.
It's about first love, about family and roots, about staying true to yourself, about not judging a book by its cover.
The writing is hands down my favorite in quite a while. The author managed to write a hilarious (I had so many laugh out loud moments) but also heartwarming and kind story.
That being said it's not smooth sailing for our boys but you know me: I like my books with a little drama.
The book also broaches the issue of how the government or politics are trying to solve the energy crisis for a greener future and this is another reason why I devoured this story: It's intelligent and makes you think (while simultaneously being enchanted by the romance part).

This book in nearly its entirety was highly annoying to read. The amount of times I had to read the words 'proper' and 'jolly' was just mind numbing. This book was so overly "British" that it was horrid. (And clearly not actually British)…
Sunny and Ludo are both massively whiny and act as if they’re still in grade school. The only character in this entire book that I actually gave a shit about was uncle Ben…
The conflicts were paper thin; the last and biggest conflict of the book was just straight up nonsensical. The only reason this book gets two stars instead of one is because of uncle Ben, some good banter in the beginning and some cutesy stuff here and there.
Also, side note… STOP MAKING GAY MEN SO OBSESSED WITH STRAIGHT MEN 🤢 that shit is so lame and an absolute turn off.

I really went back and forth between rounding up and rounding down but this is an indie debut and I've rounded up for less.
I had a great time with this book. This is one of those times when the comp feels very accurate. It has a very similar vibe to Boyfriend Material in a lot of ways: very romcom-y, low on-page steam but excellent on-page tension/connection, flawed but very likable characters. Really my only problem was that sometimes it felt a little bit OTT in the language (in terms of Britishisms and figurative language) but I did have lots of fun so that was just a minor distraction.

This was a riot. I loved both guys, I loved being introduced to the world of brit journalism. The whole thing was a hoot. Found myself laughing out loud in fairly embarrassing places.
Highly recommended.

Immediately bought the second one in the series. The cover isn't doing this one justice; it was hilarious and heart-wrenching and I'm so thankful to have read it!

Rival queer political journalists? I’m in. I flew through this book in 4 days. I seriously laughed out loud several times. It’s a romantic comedy that follows Sunny and Ludo, (two characters whom I wish were real because I want to be their friends) crossing paths in the journalism world. What happens when one journalist has a rule to never date co-workers, and the other journalist is only used to people showing interest in him because of his big name father who runs a reputable paper? This book is available to preorder on Amazon as e-book (we’ll know more soon about physical copies). Sign up for @danskireads newsletter on his website to gain exclusives.

This book was absolutely brilliant. Started 2024 with a hilarious book, and I just love these two idiots so much. Sunny Miller and Ludo Boche, our paper boys are just chaos encarnate. I just loved the British banter, sarcasm, and overall joy of this fast-paced book. Everyone needs to read this one.
