hey so I just got the dear Evan Hansen book. It's AMAZING. although the plot is kind of heavy and sad, it deals with it really well, using humor, but its pos very real and relatable. The character and plot development is done very well.
some of the chapters are told by Evan Hansen, and some are told by Conner's spirit, watching the world around him carry on.
if you don't know, dear Evan Hansen is a broadway musical , which was made into a novel.
the simplified plot is basically this: notoriously troubled conner Murphy takes his own life, and socially anxious Evan Hansen ends up in a web of lies that he was Conner's secret best friend. He makes up all these tales about him and Conner, when Conner was still alive, to get closer to conner's sister who he looks; Zoe.
it really portrays high school so well.
I not only recommend the music and musical, but also you should all read this book!!!!!
