Primero que nada, los personajes y la historia en sí me parecieron planos y poco desarrollados. Me dio la impresión de que se pudo haber hecho más. Los sucesos pasaban uno tras otro sin tanta correlación ni cohesión, por lo que más de una vez me confundí con la trama.
En relación a la parte romántica del libro, tampoco creo que se hizo algo espectacular. Nunca pude sentir una conexión especial entre las dos protagonistas y la manera en que sus historias se entrelazaban no me dejó satisfecha.

- YERBA BUENA is a small book that packs a big punch. It cuts right to the heart, looking both the best and worst life has to offer straight in the eye.
- This book does a great job of showing how trauma stays with you, but that doesn't mean your life will be devoid of joy and growth.
