All I Want for Christmas Is Hugh by Julia Boggio

  Hen, a breezy girl from New Jersey who is estranged from her American father, promised her English mother that she’d marry an Englishman. Hoping to find her very own Hugh Grant, she’s even moved to England, so when she finds herself attracted to a lovely American man, who is sympathetic with her FND, she’s reluctant to enjoy a romance with him. Her other choice, the Hugh Grant-like Albert, with his floppy hair and cut-glass accent, is an actual lord, and seemingly perfect. Luckily, the famous actor, her dream mentor, is always on hand in different characters from his movies, to give her pertinent advice. This hilarious rom-com was a fun read for the festive season, and I’m a big fan of Hugh Grant, so I really enjoyed all of the film references. I admired the main character’s struggles with a serious illnes, but managing to have an irrepressible love of life in spite of it. I received this free romance from  NetGalley  in return for an honest review.
