From the show's creators comes the groundbreaking novel inspired by the Broadway smash hit Dear Evan Hansen.
Dear Evan Hansen,
Today's going to be an amazing day, and here's why....
When a letter that was never meant to be seen by anyone draws high school senior Evan Hansen into a family's grief over the loss of their son, he is given the chance of a lifetime: to belong. He just has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell: that the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend.
Suddenly, Evan isn't invisible anymore - even to the girl of his dreams. And Connor Murphy's parents, with their beautiful home on the other side of town, have taken him in like he was their own, desperate to know more about their enigmatic son from his closest friend. As Evan gets pulled deeper into their swirl of anger, regret, and confusion, he knows that what he's doing can't be right, but if he's helping people, how wrong can it be?
No longer tangled in his once-incapacitating anxiety, this new Evan has a purpose. And a website. He's confident. He's a viral phenomenon. Every day is amazing. Until everything is in danger of unraveling, and he comes face-to-face with his greatest obstacle: himself.
A simple lie leads to complicated truths in this big-hearted coming-of-age story of grief, authenticity, and the struggle to belong in an age of instant connectivity and profound isolation.

Critic reviews
"[A] particularly authentic first-person narration about family dynamics, the importance of kindness, and the horrors of not fitting in at high school.... A must-read." (Publishers Weekly)
"Yep, the hit musical will make you cry just as much in book form." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Even in book form, Evan Hansen's story sings. Required reading, especially for anyone who's ever needed to be found." (Becky Albertalli, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Leah on the Offbeat)

I was a huge fan of Dear Evan Hansen musical. Because I loved the story so much, I bought this audible book. There are so much more stories inside the book which the musical didn't have time to show. I finally understand what's going on inside Evan and Connor. Ben Levi Ross and Mike Faist's narration was so genuine and emotional. I cried so much times listening to this and I felt so sorry for both Evan and Connor. I didn't have the chance to see Ben Platt's performance, but after listening to this, I knew Ben Levi Ross is a great Evan and I look forward to seeing him perform one day. (Hope I can get the chance to fly from China to US to see him, fingers crossed)
Anyone who feels alone should listen to this.

It was fascinating to see how Val Emmich, Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul took Dear Evan Hansen the musical and adapted/expanded it into a novel. 💡
For devoted Fansens, like me, it stays true to the characters and voices I know and love from the musical. 🎶
It also gives us the opportunity to dive deeper into who they are and even introduces a new one, that really worked for me. ☺️
I think it also works as a stand alone story, for those not familiar with the broadway show. 📘
I highly recommend it, especially for teens/young adults, those who care about and/or are parenting teens/young adults, as well as those who have loved ones who died by suicide. I fit into both categories, which is what drew me to this story in the first place.✌🏼
