From the show's creators comes the groundbreaking, bestselling novel
inspired by the hit Broadway show Dear Evan Hansen.
Dear Evan Hansen,
Today's going to be an amazing day and here's why...
When a letter that was never meant to be seen by anyone draws high
school senior Evan Hansen into a family's griefover 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.
Suddenly, Evan isn't invisible anymore--even to the girl of his dreams.
And Connor Murphy's parents, with their beautiful home on the other side
of town, have taken him in like he was their own, desperate to know more
about their enigmatic son from his closest friend.As Evan gets pulled
deeper into their swirl of anger, regret, and confusion, he knows that
what he's doing can't be right, but if he's helping people, how wrong
can it be?
No longer tangled in his once-incapacitating anxiety, this new Evan has
a purpose. And a website. He's confident. He's a viral phenomenon. Every
day is amazing. Until everything is in danger of unraveling and he comes
face to face with his greatest obstacle: himself.
A simple lie leads to complicated truths in this big-hearted
coming-of-age story of grief, authenticity and the struggle to belong in
an age of instant connectivity and profound isolation.
