Description-
From the show's creators comes the groundbreaking novel inspired by the Broadway smash hit 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.

Reviews-
Listeners will hear the story of the Broadway musical DEAR EVAN HANSEN in this behind-the-scenes account. Narrator Taylor Trensch takes listeners on a journey that starts with the musicians-lyricists Pasek and Paul meeting in college, where their idea for EVAN HANSEN originated. The story climaxes with their play receiving six Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Trensch's voice fits the story well. He sounds like he could be one of the young creators or actors in the show. As he tells their stories, he also recounts the stories and enthusiasm of the play's diehard fans. The hit musical has captivated audiences, and the audiobook, aided by Trensch's passionate narration, gives listeners an experience to remember. A.G.M. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
