Dear Evan Hansen

by Val Emmich, Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul

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.

Apparently I DNF'ed it. First of all it's super slow and dragging. I hope the musical isn't as dragging as this book is. Why converting a musical into a book actually? It's not working. Second, EVan annoyed me to bits and pieces. Yes, he has social anxiety, but why is he making up stories and lies? I couldn't take it any longer.
