I’m going to devour every book in her young adult backlist and I can’t wait to see what she does next! Cons And Heads Up Nina LaCour deserves the highest of fives for creating such an awesome and poignant story. This story is told from Sara and Emilie’s points of view and it was truly a gift to watch them grow as individuals while they did their best to come to terms with their pasts. I’m not ashamed to admit that I got really attached to Sara and Emilie because I could easily relate to some of their experiences and their relentless search for something more in life. I love the fact that this story encourages readers to look within and ask themselves a few burning questions: Who am I? Where do I fit in with my family and friends? How do I find my place in the world?
Yerba Buena is definitely one of those timeless stories that will break and heal your heart in equal measure. It’s been ages since I’ve read a story that gave me all the feels and left me yearning for more. Will Emilie and Sara follow their hearts so that they can have the love they truly deserve or will they allow their pasts and their deep-seated fears to lead them astray? Pros And My Favourite Parts
But their journey to love doesn’t run smoothly because the emotional scars they carry, and the hard decisions they have made, continue to tear them apart again and again. Emilie decides to step outside of her comfort zone-she takes a part-time job arranging flowers at an upscale restaurant called Yerba Buena and she ventures into a romantic relationship with the married owner.Ī simple twist of fate caused Emilie and Sara’s paths to cross at Yerba Buena-their connection is strong and undeniable. She really wants to be surrounded by beauty and have the close-knit community that her Creole grandparents created but she’s unable to commit to anything until she finds her purpose in life. On the other side of the city, Emilie Dubois is waiting for the grand moment when her life will change for the better. Sara is a highly sought-after bartender because her unique cocktails are a work of art and she never allows anyone to get too close to her. More than a decade has passed and she lives in Los Angeles. She walked away from the people and places she thought she’d never leave and she left behind the open-hearted girl she used to be. Sara Foster was only sixteen years old when she ran away from home. Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour is a beautiful and messy coming-of-age love story between two women who are trying to deal with their emotional baggage while they’re also trying to find themselves in the process.
