(  ) jkohlmeyer1816 | Nov 12, 2022 | At its worst, Connors suicide is a plot device and Connor himself is a prop. At its best it is commentary on how you can never really know someone. How the awkward kid can both be sad, struggling to make it through and an opportunist. How Connor could be something more than his actions. How social media can make us think we know those answers when we don't, because it's all so surface level. That there is so much commonality in our differences. The problem is Connor stayed surface level. So I'm afraid, in many ways, the former is the truth that stands out the most. I liked the idea. I liked that it made me think. Unfortunately the execution left a bad taste in my mouth. ( ) Jonez | Sep 23, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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 anymoreâ??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?

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 isolati Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

- Do 17 year old's talk, think, or act like Evan Hansen? I didn't know any like him when I was growing up. Nor when my sons were seniors in high school. He seemed like he was more like a 14 year old.
- Is the reader supposed to like the protagonist? It was a pretty big lift. I don't need to like characters as a general rule, but I at least need to empathize with the choices they are making. Or love hating them and not just finding them annoying.
- What exactly did Zoe find attractive (at least initially)?
- The juxtaposition of wit and suicidal kids didn't work for me at all.
- The Jewish character struck me as stereotypical (I'm Jewish so take that for what it's worth). Not a major issue, but didn't make me like the book more.
- A memorial Orchard was the best thing these kids could come up with to do to honor the book's victim? Does this sound like something high school kids would come up with?
I am done, done, done with YA. I am clearly too old for it.
