Y/n Murphy struggles with mental illnesses she wishes she had control over. On the first day of senior year, she's already high and ready to skip the day and end it all. When her mom doesn't stand down, she reluctantly leaves the Murphy household, her pessimism heavy on her shoulders. During the school day, she encounters Evan Hansen, a boy who got the wrong impression of her. When they talk to each other in the computer lab, it changes Y/n's view completely. Maybe this is her chance to make a friend. Throughout hanging out with Evan, Y/n grows feelings for the shorter boy, and soon she grows reckless, but full of a small amount of hope. She tries desperately not to ruin the relationship she has with him. This could be the start of something new. Something amazing. Now, all her hope is pinned on Evan. Maybe he's the page turner in the long, dull chapters of her life. Maybe he's the light to her darkness.
