Stay Up with Hugo Best by Erin Somers

4.0

Overall I enjoyed this book although ultimately it didn't ever turn the corner for me. The writer did a good job of keeping me interested and entertained, although for some reason in my mind the titular character spoke to me as if he was played by Hugh Grant, which other than the first name similarity (and I guess the one-syllable last name ending in "t"), makes no sense really. I just heard the character, an American, speaking to me with an English accent, and even picturing Hugh Grant playing him in my mind's eye. Despite that, I liked the protagonist character, and felt like the world she inhabited made sense, but ultimately the book doesn't show any revelation or major plot development. There were points where I thought the story would turn darker, and it really didn't, and others where it seemed to get lighter, but never really did that either. The relationship between the story narrator/protagonist and Spencer (you'll have to read to get the particulars) made me somewhat uncomfortable as well. Nonetheless an enjoyable read. Will look for this author's future efforts.
