Synopsis

    When Ellie is dumped by her boyfriend, she’s forced to make new friends (while watching her ex swoon over his new girlfriend) in The Secret Recipe for Moving On, a smart and funny YA debut from Karen Bischer.
    Ellie Agresti’s not sure anything could be worse than being dumped by her boyfriend, Hunter, the first day of senior year.
    But sharing a “life skills” class with him and his new girlfriend, Brynn? AND getting partnered with a “family” of misfits (A.J., the loudmouth; Isaiah, the horse-racing obsessive; and Luke, the tattooed stunt-biker)?
    It’s a recipe for certain disaster…until an in-class competition allows Ellie to channel her angst into beating Hunter and Brynn’s team, and she unexpectedly bonds with her own group–especially Luke–in the process.
    But as Ellie soon discovers, it will take more than classroom triumphs to heal her broken heart–and find herself again.

Review

    The very first thing that attracted me towards this book was its cover art. I enjoyed reading it and finished the book in two days. It is simple yet refreshing. And I was intriguied to know that how this cover would relate to the title of the book. The protagnist of the novel is Ellie who was dumped by her boyfriend. Her life basically revolved around her boyfriend and his friends circle. Gladly, her bestfriend was there to support her through the emotional phase of this breakup. Taking the home econmics calss changed everything for Ellie. She found a new family amongst her classmates. She found the confidence to be herself and express her interest opnely without the fear of being judged or criticised. Ellie made new good friends who were there to support her though the difficult times.
    The whole process of Ellie being dumped by her ex to the way of finding her voice and chanelling her real aura infront of her college fellows is a refreshing journey which would captivate the readers' interest. 
The Secret Recipe for Moving on is a lively, light hearted and sweet read to welcome spring and see the flowers blossom.
