First of all, it was hilarious to me that the audiobook narrators had to read so many re's (as in "Subject: Re: Re: Re: You Don't Know Me"). It went from funny to annoying to funny again as the re's piled up. It must be a great audiobook if all the re's didn't make this too annoying to continue listening. Overall, I thought this was just delightful. I love that the girls each had distinct voices and their emails showed us their personalities so well. Sometimes epistolary novels can have these clunky moments when the author is inserting exposition. This novel let each character's voice shine while conveying the plot in a believable way. There aren't too many fun middle grade novels about kids with gay parents, so this immediately became my favorite (supplanting [b:The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher|18769869|The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher (Family Fletcher, #1)|Dana Alison Levy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391311284l/18769869._SX50_.jpg|26668105]). To Night Owl from Dogfish is an epistolary novel, written mainly in email and text messages, but some real letters too. The two main leads (Bett and Avery) are 12-year old girls, one living in NYC, one in CA. They each have a single gay dad and their dads' relationship throws the girls together, reluctantly, with unexpected results. I listened to the audiobook and the narrators were great! My only criticism was of the reading of the email messages when there were TONS of replies to the same thread. The narrators read out EVERY single "Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:". It had me praying for a change in the Subject line! If I had read the novel, I would have just skipped reading all of those "Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:"s. I wish there was a vocal equivalent to that skip:-) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I saw a few reviews about how this was like a modern version of The Parent Trap and when I saw it in sale I couldn’t resist picking it up.
Super cute, funny, nice lessons about how family isn’t just about biology. ( )
