Reviews for Yerba Buena:

“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

“Unfold[s] like the slowly blossoming flavors of a well-made drink… The book is a sensory feast, teeming with vivid detail…LaCour’s writing shines…Bitter and salty and sweet all at once.”
—The New York Times Book Review
