Creators: Liked "A lesbian love story for the ages" from the bestselling and Printz Award–winning author of We Are Okay ( Vogue ). "A study of complex, modern love . . . Expertly illuminates the trauma that Sara and Emilie are both wrestling with, as well as their hope and healing . . . Lingers like a perfectly mixed cocktail." — San Francisco Chronicle Sara Foster runs away from home at sixteen, leaving behind the girl she once was, capable of trust and intimacy. Years later, in Los Angeles, she is a sought-after bartender, renowned as much for her brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern, yearning for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but unable to commit. On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena. The morning Emilie and Sara first meet at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. But soon Sara's old life catches up to her, upending everything she thought she wanted, just as Emilie has finally gained her own sense of purpose. Will their love be more powerful than their pasts? At once exquisite and expansive, astonishing in its humanity and heart, Yerba Buena is a testament to the healing qualities of a shared meal, a perfectly crafted drink, a space we claim for ourselves. Nina LaCour's adult debut novel is a love story for our time. "Trailblazing . . . One of my personal favorite authors." —Casey McQuiston, New York Times– bestselling author "A Carol for our times." — Harper's Bazaar
LovedAnd I just thought Yerbuina was so good. Like, this one was five stars. It's one of my favorite books that I've ever read and some of it did remind me of this book, but I never felt as connected to the characters in Atomic Hearts.
Lovedand yeah, it's just like a really like beautiful meditation on like life and growing up and grief and family and all of these other things that I just like really enjoy. And it went a lot of places that I wasn't really expecting.
Likedthere were parts of this book that I was like on a high I was soaring other parts I was like missing her why a at the end of it just left me with a really good feeling though I would read every Adult Book she publishes from here on out it was like sad and gorgeous and just like really Bittersweet end of summer read for me
Dislikedyba buenna too is really dull I actually think y buner might even be like gives me the egg because this book was such a disappointment such a let down for me if I was dating this book I would ghost it like Casper
Mixedthis was like a freestyle readme it was really easy to read but like quite forgettable i feel like i've already forgotten it quite a lot and i only read it a few weeks ago
