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 and embarks on an affair with the married owner. The morning Emilie and Sara first meet at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. But the damage both women carry, and the choices they have made, pulls them apart again and again. When 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, they must decide if their love is more powerful than their pasts. At once exquisite and expansive, astonishing in its humanity and heart, Yerba Buena is a love story for our time and a propulsive journey through the lives of two women trying to find somewhere, or someone, to call home.

To be fair, I am a Nina LaCour fan and could not wait to read this book. I absolutely loved it. The way the stories of the two main characters overlap is excellent. They have similar wounds, but express them in such different ways that they almost act as repellent magnets, meeting and then pushing away from each other. There was a great push-pull and reckoning with family in both stories. The only quibble I have with YERBA BUENA was, well, the use of Yerba Buena. It felt very heavy-handed and was used so much that it lost its effect. The restaurant name, the herb, the drink, and more... it was overkill. Otherwise, the characters, the settings, the relationships... they were outstanding.
