12/12/2018 0 Comments Review: Dear Evan Hansen
My Review: Even though Dear Evan Hansen is aimed at the young adult market, it deals with serious and heavy themes. Evan has an anxiety disorder. The first page talks about celebrity suicides, it gives a clear idea the direction of the story. It's an important time for such a novel, and to complement the popular musical. All people, young and old, could benefit from the storyline. And when a letter is misconstrued as a suicide letter, to Evan. Evan finds himself transported from a school nobody to a somebody, with not the expected consequences. It really encapsulated the trouble when trying to tell people what you think they want to hear as Evan balances the lies that help and the truth that hurts.
A very enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to seeing the musical when it comes to London. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you so much the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary electronic copy in return for an honest review.
