Yerba Buena started really dark, and I hate to say for the first two chapters, I was a little confused. However, I was in love with the story of our main characters And their back and forth journey full of come and go, missed connection, and ultimate connection. I also loved how the author went about creating closure scenarios. 

I am however disappointed that there were no content warnings at all, especially with how dark some of the topics discussed were.  Regardless of story or if it’s an “adult” novel, things like assault especially minor assault, and abuse, should be known beforehand.
