Dear Evan Hansen: The Novel by Val Emmich
4.0
Dear Evan Hansen is something I normally would not pick up. My reading taste ventures closer to fantasy and long, dramatic series. This book was a light-hearted, fun read that deals with depression, social anxiety, and suicide. I honestly did not expect to enjoy this book...but I was proven wrong.
I got this book from my brother's wonderful girlfriend, who is just as obsessed with Broadway shows as I am. From Hamilton to Wicked, I love Broadway shows. But Dear Evan Hansen just never seemed to click with me. Until I read this amazing book.
Dear Evan Hansen follows high school senior Evan Hansen who has major social anxiety. He has no friends what-so-ever and believes his life is a total failure. But then Connor Murphy commits suicide. And Evan Hansen was the last person to have seen him alive.
This book took so many plot twists I was not expecting, but all at the same time, they fit so well. Confusing things, in the beginning, were finally revealed at the end, giving me this 'complete' vibe.
I loved the characters in this book so much and I really enjoyed reading in Evan's perspective. I, personally, am very outgoing and I love to hang out with my friends all the time, but I used to be that socially awkward and anxiety-filled kid. I still am, but I have been able to cope with it a lot better. This book brought back a lot of memories.
Great read!
