How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow

3.0

not a bad book and a quick read, but the characters felt so damn flat to me. there was no chemistry between the two main characters and the issues they themselves created to add conflict felt forced and frustating because they really could've been resolved by having a quick little 5 minute honest conversation.

still not entirely clear where the conflict between the main character and her mom came from? again felt like she was just creating issues that weren't actually there.

also fucking up your dream internship to text a girl you JUST MET all day is really immature bestie.
