A review by melodyriggs
Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu

3.0

It’s a little like The Giver meets Pleasantville but not quite as engaging. The author hints that something bad happened from early on, prompting the Lively family to live to Eventown, where everything is perfect and no one has bad or sad memories. However, given the timeliness of the topic once the reader finds out what the bad memory for the Lively family is, I wish it had been addressed in more detail and that more time had been spent on it rather than the last 30ish pages or so.
