Loading... How to Excavate a Heartby Jake Maia Arlow
![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. Shani, fresh from a breakup with her girlfriend, is on her way to Washington DC for a Christmas break internship when her mother almost runs over a girl on the street. When Shani's apartment mate asks her to take over her dog walking job for a few days, little did she know that the dog's owner was May, the girl she almost ran over. However, the initial hostility turns around during the break...of course. Otherwise there wouldn't be a story. A very easy to read and like Christmas story...about 2 Jewish girls. LOL. This YA lesbian romance, about picking yourself up after a breakup and forming healthy relationships—not just romantic ones, but with your friends, family, and yourself—is sweet as heck and with just the right wintry, holiday feelings. It's got strong Gilmore Girls vibes from multiple angles, like if the Gilmore Girls were Jewish and not so focused on financial class. And also Rory was a lesbian (Paris was always her best best option, let's be honest) no reviews | add a review
Snowy weather and fish fossils help bring together two Jewish college freshmen spending winter break in Washington, D.C.
"It all starts when Shani runs into May. Like, literally, with her mom's subaru. Attempted vehicular manslaughter was not part of Shani's plan. She was supposed to be focusing on her monthlong paleoichthyology internship. She was going to spend all her time thinking about dead fish and not at all about how she was unceremoniously dumped days before winter break. It could be going better. But when a dog-walking gig puts her back in May's path, the fossils she's meant to be diligently studying are pushed to the side--along with the breakup. Then they're snowed in together on Christmas Eve. As things start to feel more serious, though, Shani's hurt over her ex-girlfriend's rejection comes rushing back. Is she ready to try a committed relationship again, or is she okay with this just being a winter fling?" -- No library descriptions found. |

i would have liked this more if, as they were dealing with not becoming too involved too quickly, they didn't actually say 'i love you' before the month was out. still, i really liked this. (
