Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu
3.0
Remembering is important. Even when it hurts. Even when it tears you open. Our stories are what bring color, texture, light and dark, to our lives.
Elodee’s family wants to forget. They want a fresh start where it doesn’t hurt and Eventown seems like the perfect place for that. There, every day is sunny, the ice cream flavors are reliable, and there’s nothing to make anyone feel bad.
Elodee quickly begins to realize how much she’s losing when she gives up her stories, even the ones that hurt.
Haydu‘s story is told at a slow and steady pace. It seems at first to be about a family that just needs to be a fresh start, but becomes a story about how important telling our stories and sharing our feelings is to healing and to who we are.
