** ArtisticLicenseGeography: A minor issue, but Evan says he and Connor talked about "biking the Appalachian Trail" after graduation. If either of them had actually looked into it, they'd have found out the Appalachian Trail banned bikes back in 1984.
** ArtisticLicenseMedicine: A bigger issue is that Evan didn't initially intend the "perfect day" he had with Connor at the apple orchard to be the same day he broke his arm. "For Forever" starts with the line "End of May or early June". It's currently ''September'', and a broken arm typically heals in six to eight weeks. Unless he somehow repeatedly re-injures it -- which isn't the case -- the earliest he could've broken his arm is in July -- after the end of the previous school year when he was working his summer job at the park. The creators revealed that "For Forever" was written before the script was nailed down and it was too late to change the line when they noticed the discrepancy. However, they decided to leave it in as a bit of DramaticIrony, showing that the Murphys could've exposed Evan immediately had they been really paying attention.

In his first letter, he writes that it will be an amazing day, because he'll be himself, before descending into a tangent regarding his social anxiety. At the end, he reassures himself that today day will be good as he has finally learned to accept who he is.
** Evan's first and last discussion with Connor, whether it's the real person or an imaginary version, contains the tree accident that caused Evan to have a broken arm.
