There is so much emotion written in this book, you'd be hard pressed not to leave it with feelings. This was conveyed perfectly on audio - the pain of Sara, the uncertainty of Emilie - all done with glorious inflections from Julia Whelan. Yerba Buena is brought up throughout, both as a plant, a restaurant, and a general theme of growth. Sara and Emilie are so interconnected, though it becomes more clear once their paths actually intersect. I found myself identifying more with Sara's chapters, but it might be because Emilie's plight with depression hits a bit closer to home. It's art about art, be it floral design, mixology, or home renovations, but it's imperfect in the way that all art is. I can't wait to get a physical copy and reread, because I feel like there are so many nuances that I missed. It's herbacious, poignant, and perfect for contemporary readers who want a little more literary fiction in their lineup.
