To Night Owl from Dogfish

For the Read Harder Challenge category of an epistolary novel or collection of letters. This was a big surprise. I don't usually enjoy YA or Meg Wolitzer, but I loved this book. Yes, it's an updated Parent Trap, but I totally bought into it and loved Grandma Gaga.

I picked up this book because it was on Modern Mrs. Darcy's 2019 summer reading guide and I'm glad I did! It's a quick read written in epistolary format (emails and letters) about two teenage girls who start out horrified that their dads are dating and end up choosing to be sisters of a sort. It's a light read but there is a lot under the surface to think about too. It was fun to read this in one day and about one sitting.

Would have been 4, but I'm knocking off a star for the ending. Still super cute, but a little disappointing.

What a pleasant surprise! I didn't intend to read this as it didn't seem like something I would really enjoy, but after reading a few pages I was hooked. I love the way the book was written and the characters were all very likeable. In the end I could not put this book down until I finished it. So I read it in a day. Highly recommended.

This was sweet, at times, a little TOO sweet for my blood but YAY diversity and strong female characters.
