Dear Evan Hansen
Ratings49
Average rating3.4
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.

05. A book written by a musician
Dear Evan Hansen,Today is going to be a good day, and here's why.Because today, no matter what else, you're you. No hiding. No lying. Just you. And that's enough.
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.
