How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow
5.0

Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for the advance Kindle copy of this 11/1/22 release. All opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this sapphic enemies-to-lovers rom com. Over Christmas, Jewish college freshman Shani, with a freshly broken heart, is in DC for an internship. She meets May, the girl her mom almost ran over her first day in DC, when she agrees to help a roommate with her dog-walking job. The two obviously fall for each other, both with baggage. It was adorable and funny and will be perfect for readers in grades 9+.
