Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich with Justin Paul, Steven Levenson and Benji Pasek, read by Ben Levi Ross, Mike Faist and Mallory Bechtel.

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 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--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.

Such an inspiring story.

I decided to listen to this book because I have always been interested in the show. I’ve been wanting to watch it for a while but it only recently came out where I live. I decided I wanted to listen to the book before I go and see the show because it will give me a brief idea of the story which would be great and I was so blown away with how inspiring the story is and how emotional and moving it is. Absolutely loved it.

Engaging and moving story, well performed.

This is a well written and thoughtful story that tackles the issues of mental health and suicide. The audiobook is well performed by the actors who both create a real sense of truth. At no point did I feel that it was being read aloud rather than acted, which is quite a rare achievement. One of the better audiobooks I have come across in this respect.
Although this is probably classed as young adult fiction due to the school setting and age of the main characters, I, an adult in my forties, found it engaging and relatable.
