It's a matter of personal preference and relationships can develop unexpectedly. Turtle's crush on Doug Hoo in "The Westing Game" may stem from their interactions, personalities, or shared interests portrayed in the story. It adds complexity and depth to their characters and the overall plot.
Doug Hoo
Doug Hoo is revealed to be Sam Westing's son in The Westing Game. At the end of the story, it is explained that Sandy McSouthers, who was also Barney Northrup, assumed the role of Turtle's partner to help manage Sam Westing's vast fortune, and that he is also the father of Doug Hoo.
Turtle bets Doug Hoo that she can stay in the Westing House on Halloween night every two dollars a minute.
Doug is a high school senior who spends much of his spare time running; his dad criticizes him for not studying. His stepmother, however, seems very proud of his accomplishments. In the middle of the book, Turtle actually has a crush on him. Later in the story, Doug becomes an Olympic star, winning the gold medal twice, and goes on to become a sports announcer. (Wikipedia)
Doug Hoo was stationed outside the Westing house because, being the fasted one of the "group", he was to time how long "Turtle" stayed in the house in a dare: a certain amount of money for each minute.
Doug Hoo's feet stopped hurting in "The Westing Game" because he was wearing the Chinese slippers that had been custom made for him by Turtle Wexler. The slippers were padded and comfortable, providing relief for his sore feet.
Doug Hoo is Sam Westing's nephew. Sam Westing is the wealthy businessman whose death sets off the events of the mystery in the book "The Westing Game."
