A review by v1rgo
Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour

note to start off: there is a MAJOR tw for pedophilia! not sure why it isn't put higher by reviews here!!!
hm. idk whether to rate this one. i just wasn't a fan of the writing style. i think it may have soured the book for me. i usually at least like lacour so i was kinda surprised. the romance also wasn't very compelling, but it wasn't like, a major part of the book so whatever. i wish i had a better sense of the actual personalities of the two protagonists. also, some parts of this made me roll my eyes. like i'm pretty sure every gay woman who likes literature has heard of passing (the book)..... not super a fan of those sorts of references for reasons like that. uhhh that is personal preference too tho... maybe this just wasn't my thing. kinda reminded me of honey girl which was also pretty cheesy. i liked that one more i think. will mayb think about this one more and modify my review
