I found Dear Evan Hansen to be a wonderful book and I really related to both Connor and Evan. The only issue is the discussion of suicide. The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention has 8 guidelines for media when it involves suicide. Other countries have very similar guidelines about it. DEH meets 7 out of the 8, which you'd think is good but they messed up on the most important one. "•Avoid showing or describing the details of suicide methods." Connor's suicide and Evan's attempted suicide are both described. The reason you're not supposed to describe them is because it makes suicidal people want to try it. Other than that I really liked it. (I was going to say "enjoyed it" but I didn't. The first dinner scene is rife with second hand embarrassment.)
