four-stars

Twins Naomi and Elodee and their family are moving to a perfect town, Eventown, to help them forget. But once they get there something happens and Elodee realizes forgetting might not be the way for them to heal. The way the twins complete each other was really interesting and the stress that Elodee felt from that was very real. Also Eventown seems perfect at first but once Elodee and the reader begins to see it in a different light, that “perfect” town image begins to disappear. An interesting twist on the losing of a sibling and the way a family copes with it.
