A review by emilybriano
Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu
5.0
Oh wow. This book is so beautiful and sad and hopeful. It’s like a new generation’s The Giver, but somehow more personal and nearer to the experience of its readers than its predecessor.
What happens when we forget? Do we want to forget our worst (or best) memories?What does it mean to be perfect? How do we deal with pain? What is the role of imperfection and love and family.
All these questions and more in a middle grade novel that should be read by anyone at any age.
