Dear Evan Hansen

issac_moon shared a tip "This book is literally just getting to the climax then doing a 1 year time jump. The writing was good but i hated mostly every character and their actions and how stupid it all was. The musically or movie may be good, but the book sucks."

fiomba shared a tip "this is well written, but does the exact same thing the musical does-- which is have a very weird & terrible plot. I liked the parts from Connor's pov, but the rest of the book was just yelling at Evan to stop being awful."

bl4k3 shared a tip "Really good, I didn't expect the ending and the characters were very well developed and the little pieces of Connors thoughts adding depth."

nate_collins_5376 shared a tip "This book is powerful. It takes your heart for a rollercoaster and never slows down. The main character is relatable in a way that makes you feel less lonely in the world. The characters in this book are filled with personality and emotion, and the ending will leave you thinking. Even without the music in the original version of this story, this book sings a million songs. Highly recommended to anyone who’s ever felt lonely, like they’ll never amount to anything, or just anyone who’s felt the need for a friend."

Instead I got a trash book about a relationship built on lies and no redemption for the terror the MC caused to an already grieving family. This book actually made me angry. 1/5 👎 #didntexpectthat #death_and_dying #fakerelationships #lie"

ashlyn_pankow shared a tip "My favorite is "They both die at the end" by Adam Silvera. Might sound a bit indicative but it's a lot deeper than that. It's a quick read and it has a good message. That is my favorite book. Since you seem to like musicals, you also might like Be More Chill. Hope this helps!"

stormie_vickers shared a tip "This is a book I could not put down! It will make you laugh, cry and make to want to throw the book across the room in anger but this book teaches great lessons and is one of the best reads! It's an easy read and an easy visualization! 10/10!! Must read!"

frank_socha shared a tip "Oh yes! I loved the relationship development between Evan and Mr. Murphy. Sure it was deluded and based on falsities, but as someone whose dad passed away, I totally understood that empty void Mr. Murphy was trying to fill. When he gave Evan the baseball glove, it was the cutest thing ever!"

ilish_craig shared a tip "Great page turner that highlights the importance of mental health on the younger generation. Read the book before seeing the movie!"

grant_elder shared a tip "Everyone who feels alone should take the time to read this book. It sheds a light on the struggle of every coming of age teenager and paints a very vivid picture of the struggles with anxiety, depression, acceptance and just finding your place."
