3.0

i strongly dislike evan hansen. i just can't get behind him and his actions. given the context and his mental health, yes he has issues but i still believe that he knew what he was doing.  

especially getting with zoe. it just feels icky. i am glad he gets what he deserves at the end. he loses everything.

but, i can't help but sympathize, i can't act like i would do any better in his situation. we are only human. musical is decent tho.
