![]() ![]() ![]() This is also where Arlow nails the post-teenage angst humor. There are a lot of complicated feelings around this stage of life, and Arlow’s character portrayals feel very authentic-the main characters are both first year college students figuring out what it means to be independent, to manage this in-between phase of life, caught between home and their new freedoms. These are a few of my favorite things about Jake Arlow’s How to Excavate a Heart.Ĭollege student Shani Levine is determined to spend the holidays alone doing a winter internship at the Smithsonian-that means she’ll be away from her family, her mom specifically, which she feels guilty about while also desperately feeling the need to get away. Non-stop cackling, except when you take a break to have a good cry. ![]()
