HOW TO EXCAVATE A HEART

Hope Newhouse narrates this cozy winter romance about two lesbians who meet in the most unlikely way--through a car accident. After she hits May while driving, Shani never expects to see the pissed-off girl again. Then she accidentally ends up being May's dog walker. The last thing the heartbroken college freshman Shani wants to think about during her Smithsonian paleoichthyology internship is love. But when romance blooms, she will have to learn life lessons the hard way. Newhouse captures the inflections of teenage indignation and the all-consuming crush. She also impresses with her New York accent and personalized character voices. Every relationship--especially the one with the fossilized fish--requires patience and an interest in learning hidden depths. S.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2022]
