This family moves to some town that is supposedly perfect. They have everything they want, their house is great, everyone is kind. but it's perfect because everyone blocks out bad memories.. Key things I remember are them having rose bushes at their new house, and towards the end of the book they get ruined/torn up; family trauma comes out at the end that has been hidden/buried; the main character, the families daughter, cooked a lot, and she like channeled memories through her baking. The cooking was a huge part of this story, it was an important metaphor and big plot device. The girl also song chorus, I remember a vague scene involving the school choir. At the end, they like find everyone's forgotten memories hidden in like a basement somewhere.
