You Will Be Found di Benj Pasek
The language of this song goes beyond the music and cuts right to the heart.
Unfortunately, I really didn't enjoy this one, but am giving it two stars because a) I'm sure I'm at least 35 years older than the target audience and b) the ending had some touching moments.
But, honestly . . .
- 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.

2 and a half stars. I went into this without having seen the musical or listening to the soundtrack. I knew a brief synopsis and thought it would be so something I would be into but...it wasn’t really. I liked parts of it and understand where it was trying to go but I really feel like it lacked heart. Since I’ve finished reading it, I’ve listened to the musical soundtrack and I think that had what the book was missing.
