About the book: Evan Hansen struggles with his social life as it is and when his note he wrote to himself falls in the wrong hands he runs into more problems. Everyone now believes he is friends with Connor, a boy who took his life with Evan's note in his pocket. He decides to go with the lies everyone has assumed about him, but will the truth eventually catch up to him?
Why I liked the book: Evan isn't special in anyway yet he made such a big difference in millions of peoples lives. "Dear Evan Hansen" helps us better understand the way some people think. I was bored and started reading it, I couldn't put it down after that. It was really simple and had an astonishing story line. Each page just made me never want to stop reading.
