I could go on and on about how much I loved it. I heard about DEAR EVAN HANSEN for a while and even came across the novel when was a bookstore. I heard others talking about the Broadway show and how much they loved it. I had finally got around to getting the script at the library. I don’t read plays very often, but DEAR EVAN HANSEN was a lot more than a play, I loved the fact that the songs from the musical were included as well. Now that I read the script, I am hoping that the Broadway will come to my area so I can see it, because I would love to see it. It did not take for me long to fall in love with this story, and it felt so real to me, all the characters and the story in general. If it wasn’t for my classes staring, I know that I would read it faster than I had. I have this strong feeling that DEAR EVAN HANSEN is a story that a lot can relate to. I never been through it what happened in the story but there were parts of story that I could relate to. Plus all the emotions in the story, that while reading it, I felt as I was feeling all those emotions that Evan was. It was incredible.



I liked Evan from the start. I don’t agree with what he did, how he made Connor’s parents think that he was friends with Connor, and at the same time I understood why he did it. I believe that he did because he felt back for him and once he started, it was as if he didn’t want to stop. I know that what he did was wrong, but it seemed as it helped Connor parents, and it seemed to bring them closer together, and it made them happy knowing that Connor had a friend. I had a feeling that it wouldn’t last forever, if Evan didn’t tell the truth, I had a feel that it would get discovered at the some point. I had feeling that it wouldn’t end well for Connor, considering how many things he had about his and Connor’s friendship. There were few things that would get me suspicious, and I do wonder how Connor’s parents weren’t suspicious, and maybe because they were grieving or happy that Connor had a friend. I can’t even begin to imagine what they felt once they found out that it was a big lie. In a way, Evan gave them hope even if it was just for a little while. You will go through the emotions while reading this book.



DEAR EVAN HANSEN is a story you won’t forget, a story that will stay with you. Once I reached the ending, I couldn’t get out of my head for a while. I would highly recommend this book to everyone. A story that deserves a lot more than five stars. There wasn’t anything I didn’t love about it. Be ready for a thrilling, emotional roller coaster ride.
