Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dear Evan Hansen is a novel written by Val Emmich with Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul. It is based on the 2016 musical of the same name.Just like its predecessor, Dear Evan Hansen focuses on Evan Hansen, a high school senior who struggles with social anxiety. After the suicide of classmate Connor Murphy, a misunderstanding leads Evan to fabricate an imaginary friendship with Connor in an attempt to comfort his grieving family. The lie quickly spirals out of control; however, and Evan, who has suddenly been thrown into the spotlight and is given everything he ever wanted, has to grapple with a moral dilemma — if a horrible lie is helping people, is it really so bad?This wiki will only list tropes that apply to the novelization and not the musical. For the original work, see Dear Evan Hansen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Dear Evan Hansen / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Unsurprisingly, the novel expands upon the story of the musical, giving more detailed backstories to existing characters and adding a few new ones. The addition of Connor's narration, especially, gives an originally mysterious character a chance to tell his side of the story; as well as giving him an Unfinished Business character arc. We also get a bit more on Evan’s dad. It’s his brushing off of something Evan was proud of (fixing the sign at the park he was working at) in favor of informing Evan about his little half-brother on the way is that serves as the catalyst for Evan’s suicide attempt. While the original musical only elaborated on Zoe's fate at the end of the play, Alana and Jared finally get proper endings in this version. | |

Broken Pedestal | |
| Dear Evan Hansen / int_868409c | comment |
Broken Pedestal: Connor's idyllic vision of Miguel is shattered when he seemingly ignores an earnest text message that he views as his last-ditch attempt to find help. It turns out Miguel was too busy at work to respond. Connor never gets a chance to learn this. | |
