This book is a precious thing." -Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop "Nina LaCour's Yerba Buena is a love story for our time. A brisk, plot-driven, and entertaining novel." - Kirkus " Yerba Buena is at turns decadent and spare, intimate and elusive, as balanced, fragrant, and masterfully crafted as a fine cocktail in the hands of someone mysterious and beautiful. Yerba buena-the "good herb," which is also the name of the restaurant where Sara and Emilie meet-carries the reader through the pain and symbolizes a better future." - Booklist (starred review) "LaCour writes with beauty and clarity about how a relationship is not a substitute for the characters' mutual need to love themselves." - Publishers Weekly "The rawness of Sara's and Emilie's struggles come through, making for a heartfelt story. Praise for Yerba Buena "Lyrical and ultimately hopeful. 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. 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. But the damage both women carry, and the choices they have made, pulls them apart again and again. The morning Emilie and Sara first meet at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate.
On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena and embarks on an affair with the married owner. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern, yearning for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but unable to commit. 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.
