Dear Evan Hansen
by Steven Levenson
Not having seen the musical and only know the bare outline of the plot, this book adaptation is good though not great. Evan is a difficult character to know what to do with as a reader - I’m supposed to root for him (and do at points) but also find his third act + (long) epilogue growth to be too quickly wrapped up. Maybe that’s a part of the point, and I do appreciate the core message of the narrative. My interest in seeing the show live has only grown by listening to the audiobook, though!
