Klappentext zu „How to Excavate a Heart “
Stonewall Honor author Jake Maia Arlow delivers a sapphic Jewish twist on the classic Christmas rom-com in a read perfect for fans of Kelly Quindlen and Casey McQuiston.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 passing winter fling?

Pressezitat
"A tonic and a testament for the times. Warming as hot chocolate in a blizzard; a familiar favorite made fresh from scratch." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"This dialogue-rich narrative, told from Shani's simultaneously biting and sincere first-person perspective, expertly conveys two romantically unconfident girls' hesitancy to act on their feelings despite boundless chemistry. May and Shani's clever banter, coupled with their myriad relationship ups and downs, make for a cozy and sharply funny confection." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A hysterically funny book. Any romance fan will immediately be charmed by Shani and May's instant chemistry, but it's Shani's witty asides that set the novel apart from even the most swoon-worthy YA romcom. Arlow's latest is bound to become a holiday classic that readers will pick up whenever they need to be reminded of the magic of a snowy day." - Booklist
"For any readers who love to read sharp banter as much as they love to swoon." - School Library Journal
"Brilliantly witty, achingly vulnerable, and utterly irresistible, this book will dig its way into your heart and stay there for a very long time." - Misa Sugiura, award-winning author of It's Not Like It's A Secret
"Funny, tender, and impossibly charming, this is the fossil-filled Jewish Christmastime romance of my dreams. Arlow is a welcome and wonderful voice in queer YA." - Rebecca Podos, Lambda-award winning author of Like Water
"Funny, sincere, and real, with a poignancy that sneaks up on you. Arlow is one of the freshest new voices in young adult fiction." - Kelly Quindlen, bestselling author of She Drives Me Crazy
