The Secret Ingredient

For fans of Sarah Dessen and Jay Asher's 13 Reasons Why comes a journey of family, food, romance, and self-discovery as Olivia, a teen chef living in L.A., finds a vintage cookbook and begins a search for her birthmother that will change her life forever.

Olivia doesnâ€™t believe in psychics. But the summer before her senior year of high school, she meets one in an elevator.
Â Â Â This summer will be pivotal, the psychic warns. Please rememberâ€”all your choices are connected.
Â Â Â Olivia loves her life in Silverlake, Los Angeles, but lately, somethingâ€™s been missing. And after getting this strange advice, her world begins to change. A new job leads Olivia to a gorgeous, mysterious boy named Theo. And as Olivia cooks the recipes from a vintage cookbook she stumbles upon, she begins to wonder if the mother sheâ€™s never known might be the secret ingredient sheâ€™s been lacking.Â
Â Â Â But sometimes the things we search for are the things weâ€™ve had all along.
