An orange book cover with green leafy sprigs around the edges. Profiles of two women, overlapping and facing opposite directions. "Yerba Buena a novel" is written across the top half.

I thought this book was a lesbian romance -- and it is -- but it's so much more too. It's the story of two women and the difficult pasts they emerge out of. I really enjoyed how LaCour wove together their processing of that trauma with growing into young women, making questionable choices, finding themselves, and ultimately each other. It's heavy at times, but also beautiful. I really enjoyed it. Thank you, {{< tess >}}, for the gift. ❤️
