A review by susanneverreads
Dear Evan Hansen: The Novel by Val Emmich

4.0

*I don't see much being a spoiler expect the last paragraph*

The only thing I knew going into this book was that it's a musical and maybe one song from said musical.

This book caught my interest early on. I was excited to see where the story would go. Then I reached a little over halfway and was just frustrated. Evan had so many opportunities to be honest yet didn't. I think the reason I got so frustrated is because of how realistic his situation was. We can say we wouldn't lie but until in the situation, who knows what we would really do.

Once again, I did get frustrated with the book towards the end and was thinking it was going to be a two or three star review. The way is was going, Evan wasn't going to come clean and keep on lying. The fact this book didn't have a fairytale ending is what made it four stars. The ending just shows that everything is getting better rather than everything being amazing and perfect.
