Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu

4.0

A heavy hearted story about a family who lost a member and decided its be easier to live in a place where everything was perfect and everyone was perfectly happy instead of living through the grief. But something is strange about this place. Elodee and her twin sister, Naomi, are losing their memories about their former home. Elodee cannot remember her favorite recipes, or much of anything else. But don’t question why everyone is doing the same thing... and certainly don’t plant rose bushes that you’ve brought from your “old life”.

Eventown is a fascinating read about the lengths people will go to in order to forget their pain. But, just because you can’t see it or feel it doesn’t mean it’s not there, lurking.
