Turning thirteen isn t looking lucky for Liza and even the kitchen isn t a refuge in this second book of the Saturday Cooking Club series.
Liza s big plans for a small birthday celebration with besties Frankie and Lillian don t stand a chance against a guilt-giving force of nature: her Nana Silver. As the girls attempt to regain control from a grandmother with way-too-grand ideas, they also try to find the right recipes for their own happiness. Frankie decides to remake herself in the image of Lillian s high-achieving, perfect sister Katy, while Lillian tackles the puzzle of how to understand boys. And Liza whips up plans to use Nana s extravagant birthday bash to try get her parents back together despite the obvious simmering between her mom and Chef.
Can the girls rise to the occasion and salvage Liza s party without scorched feelings? Or will turning thirteen be far from a piece of cake?"
