How to Excavate a Heart
by Jake Maia Arlow
fast-paced
I am all for a fast-paced book...when the characters actually have some depth and aren't just a bunch of cliches. I think the author majorly failed at creating a feel-good cozy Hallmark novel, or at least they failed at making it interesting. The only good thing about this book is that it was queer, which is one star, and it was an easy, quick read, which gives it half a star. Also a star for portraying vulnerability with nakedness and sex even at 18 - I feel a lot of young adult novels make it seem like sex and being naked is just common knowledge as soon as you're an adult. 2.5 stars is generous, though. I'm sure booktokers would eat this one up!
