Benj Pasek: Dear Evan Hansen - Taschenbuch

*Read before you see the film - in cinemas this October!!*

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 draws high school senior Evan Hansen into the Murphy family´s grief over 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. And Connor´s wealthy parents 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 family, he knows that what he´s doing may not 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.

He´s confident. He´s a viral phenomenon. Every day is amazing. But when everything is in danger of unravelling, 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.
