The Secret of Everything by Barbara O'Neal

3.0

This is a lovely book about the importance of love, family and food - and the destruction that secrets can hold. Tessa Harlow is an adventure tour guide, who was recently involved in an accident that left her badly injured and killed one of her clients. She needs to reset and so goes to the town of Los Ladronas, against her father's advice. Tessa spent part of her childhood in Los Ladronas but has no memory of her time there. Her father is holding something back from Tessa but he can't stop her from going there. While there Tessa discovers the 100 Breakfasts Cafe and meets the owner who holds a lot of wisdom. One night at dinner she meets Vince, a single father struggling to cope with the recent death of his wife and three young daughters. Tessa is not in Los Ladrones for a long time so really doesn't want to have a relationship with Vince, but they are drawn to each other.
