Stay Up with Hugo Best by Erin Somers
3.0
I can’t say I’ve ever been quite so put off and scowling while reading a book before. I kept getting involuntary shudders while reading Stay Up With Hugo Best. All of these weird odd feelings were very effective for the story.
I’m a bit confused because this was pitched as a humourous title but I did not find it funny. Nor did I find it had a dark humour vibe to it. It was such a melancholy read and really put me in a down mood for the rest of the day while reading it. The character seemed so lost and aimless and I am sure many people, regardless of whether they are a “milennial” or not can relate. Flawed characters and strange undertones fuel this story. If you like that angle definitely grab a copy for yourself.
This is a book for those of us who make choices that ultimately lead them to a “how did I get here” moment. This is a book for those of us who have experienced life and think to ourselves “well, let’s see where this will take me” or “I want to see how this ends”.
The writing is excellent and will definitely make you feel discombobulated. You have to be in a specific mood to read this one but I do recommend it for a completely different reading experience.
