i felt like there were heavy emotional aspects that weren't treated with the sensibility needed, but it's a good sapphic story

Yerba Buena is a stunningly beautiful book. It follows the story of two young women through the trauma of their lives. It is a surprisingly hopeful book as they learn to deal with their pasts. I recommend the audio version as the narration was excellent.
