I'm biased because I've been obsessed with the broadway soundtrack for two years and was dying to see the musical (thanks Covid :))) : I'm giving the book three stars but I probably would have rated it lower if it had been my first introduction to the story. I was super disappointed.
I found the writing dry and, without Ben Platt's voice, Evan was not endearing to me at all. My favorite parts ended up being Connor's points of view. However, the end of the epilogue was gorgeous.
