What to expect

June Bloom is twenty-nine, broke, and an aspiring comedy writer.

Hugo Best is a beloved late-night chat show host - and notorious womaniser - who invites her to his mansion for Memorial Day Weekend.

This is the story of their four days together, a 'zippy... magnificent... devilishly fun ride' Vogue

Charting the four days June and TV icon Hugo Best spend together, Stay Up with Hugo Best is both a smart and timely exploration of sexual politics in the #MeToo age, and the hilarious and poignant story of one young woman's stumble into adulthood.

Critics Review

Vogue
A timely and engaging read
Woman & Home
A must read for the #MeToo age

I was honestly surprised to find so many funny one-liners... Erin Somers is a clear-eyed and clever young talent who has mastered the special art of dissection with affection
Carl Hiaasen
Taut and incisive
New York Times
Stay Up With Hugo Best is the best kind of novel: funny, easy to read, and deceptively weighty
Culturefly
Our whole culture desperately needs Stay Up with Hugo Best. A book so relevant, and yet so incredibly funny

On the surface, Somers' debut is light and breezy, but the narrative is deft, controlled, and deadly smart... An outstanding comedic debut

Incisive, funny, and tinged with melancholy, the timely novel follows two lost but clever souls desperate for connection

Publishers Weekly
Hilarious and poignant, this is a timely exploration of sexual politics
