Really enjoyed, but the beginning was a bit much.

Well written literary fiction that strikes an interesting balance between melancholy and more hopeful notes.

Definitely a slow burn and the side-by-side storylines in the beginning took me a while to get into but overall I really enjoyed this book.

What resonated most with me was the thread of yerba buena, flowers and other plants that winds its way through the novel.

Simple yet reflective. I picked this up expecting mainly a romance but found two stories about the difficulties of finding oneself. I liked the bittersweet moral but sometimes the book felt a bit too on the nose with its metaphors, sometimes explaining  instead of describing.
