My daughter and her friends loved this show, "For Forever" was one of her nightly alarms, we heard it constantly. I don't really want to go into too much personal detail, but this musical hit every right note with all of them. Anxiety and depression are a greater problem than realized or addressed and this just throws the viewer right in the middle of it, it spoke to its target audience so well.
There are a string of YA stories with a similar "tragic" theme (aren't they all, ha) that were very popular around this time, if I recall correctly most dealt with the main character lying throughout most of the story. Several of these have now been made into Netflix movies, with some varying degree of them being the hero in the end.
Not sure it will work as a movie though, musicals are more intimate by nature, this story may need that to succeed.
