How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow

emotional lighthearted medium-paced

3.0

Cute and cozy! I enjoyed the paleontology angle (though, I’m no expert, I have a feeling none of that was realistic lol who finds a seemingly prestigious internship in ANY field their freshman year of undergrad?) and the Jewish-Christmas perspective. I felt like the anxiety Shani experienced was relatable and a generally bearable level of cringe, the conflicts felt natural and realistic. I leave this book with no thoughts and a demand to see more corgis in literature!
