A review by rvlgonzalez
Stay Up with Hugo Best by Erin Somers
4.0
There isn’t a ton in this book that couldn’t be found elsewhere, but I think it’s well written and funny. It treats everything with about the right level of sympathy/antipathy and the characters are likable enough that you are happy to read about them, but not so likable that the book seems to argue for downplaying their faults.
02/23 - 2nd read: mostly haven't changed my position, I might add some mediating words -- "well written enough", "funny enough." It's a fine use of time, imo. I re-read after following Erin Sommers on twitter. She's pretty mean and caustic in a fun way, I like her and you can see her in this book, though a bit less edged, which is good because I'm not sure I would have liked it as much.
