She always brings guys over to hang out, and to be honest, I'm not a fan of her. One day, Goba asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend. She was in trouble because a persistent man was coming on to her. I thought there must be other men out there, but it seemed like I was the only one she could rely on and be close to her. I agreed, thinking that things would calm down in a few days, but then I ended up falling in love with Goba.

I first saw Dear Evan Hansen on the Broadway stage. Apparently, I was so blown away by the magic of theater that I didn’t pick up on the questionable dynamics. The story's clumsy handling in the movie brought those issues to light.
Where we leave the characters is in such a peaceful and optimistic place. It feels well-earned to ensure everyone gets their own specially-crafted happy ending.
