A very close friend of mine got me to read this by saying I’d love it. She was definitely right since I already had seen the musical and loved that so much. Dear Evan Hansen is such a great story and the book is able to add quite a bit to the that by explaining the characters more. I do think it would be better to read this first before having seen the musical as I personally still liked the musical more, but the book is still so well done. Plus the extra Connor parts are very nice to see in the book. Took me a while to get through, but a good read. (I also wish it was a little less YA, but still a great story!)

This story can be triggering. Having known of the broadway musical I approached with that in mind. THis captured the story quite well and the reflections of the main character make you want to go from hugging to smacking on the backside of the head and back to hugging again.

Reading this I felt annoyed and frustrated and I’m pretty sure I hated all the characters and why are there literally two times in the audiobook where a girl who isn’t narrating just starts singing for like 30 seconds. That’s was so weird. I know it’s based on a musical but why only do it for 2 songs and one character
