Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG
Paperboy isn't a very steamy book since it's told from an eleven-year-old boy's perspective and focuses mostly on his stuttering problems and family revelations. However, there's a little hint of sexual intrigue when it comes to Mrs. Worthington. When Victor sees Mrs. Worthington, he's obviously drawn to her because of her beauty—and also comes to realize that she's having an affair. Even though this isn't explicitly stated or described in any way (after all, Victor doesn't see anything happen), it's still quite a fascinating topic for Victor as he peers in on Mrs. Worthington's life.
