petitedeath 's review for:
Eventown
by Corey Ann Haydu
This book was a complex cake of many flavors of emotion and was so very sweet to savor. I read this book to my 11yo son who really enjoyed it, but I will say the final few chapters had me choking and fighting back tears unsuccessfully. It tackles tough subjects and big feelings in such a beautiful and simple way. There are a lot of books that cover feelings of sadness, hurt and anger. But this book takes on the complex feelings that aren't so simply put. Like feeling sad and happy at the same time. It illustrates through storytelling how it's ok to be different and how things can hurt and be awful but our stories are important and you can't taste the sweet without the existence of bitter.
Very lovely, would recommend.
