Lewis, Stewart

YA
Adopted by two dads, Olivia begins to sense a void in her life. Serendipitously, Olivia finds her supposedly "nameless" birth mother but quickly realizes that maybe the secret ingredient to a fulfilled life is appreciating what one already has. Lewis's mature protagonist adapts remarkably well to her nontraditional life in this story that limns themes of adolescence, adoption, illness, and financial instability.

YA
A year after her fashion model mother died in an accident, privileged fifteen-year-old Manhattanite Luna finds Mom's cell containing seven unplayed voicemails. Startling details about her mom's life (and death) are revealed, prompting further investigation. The plot is furthered by credulity-stretching details (e.g., Luna's wildly successful photography hobby), but romance and glitzy setting add allure.
