When a letter that was never meant to be seen by anyone draws high school senior Evan Hansen into a family's grief over the loss of their son, he is given the chance of a lifetime: to belong. He just has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell, that the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend.

The audiobook was really well done, with the Broadway actors reading Evan & Connor & singing for Zoe. What listening to this made me realize, that I suspected from the play, is that I don't actually like the story. I enjoyed the Broadway spectacle and the songs, but I find centering Evan's story over Connor's kind of gross. The book, written by the authors who wrote the book for Broadway, give voice to Connor's side of the story more, but even that was not enough for me to enjoy this story a second time through.
Yep. I finished it, but at what cost?! This was just awful in my opinion. Evan is such an annoying character who lies ALL THE TIME. Ugh.
The only thing I can rave about in this book is the anxiety rep.
