Be More Chill

By: Ned Vizzini

Narrated by: Ramón de Ocampo

The groundbreaking novel that inspired the Broadway musical!

Jeremy Heere is your average high school dork. Day after day, he stares at beautiful Christine, the girl he can never have, and dryly notes the small humiliations that come his way. Until the day he learns about the "squip." A pill-sized supercomputer that you swallow, the squip is guaranteed to bring you whatever you most desire in life. By instructing him on everything from what to wear, to how to talk and walk, the squip transforms Jeremy from geek to the coolest guy in class. Soon he is friends with his former tormentors and has the attention of the hottest girls in school. But Jeremy discovers that there is a dark side to handing over control of your life - and it can have disastrous consequences.

Nothing like the musical. It’s so much better.

Personally I love this book, I found it after the musical, I honestly wished the cast from the musical would have taken their roles to this book. I wish the musical would have gone this route but it would be a little confusing. I like the twist ending and character development.

so relatable

despite the age of the book it still brings true! such a good relatable read

Great story, love the characters,

I love this a lot, and the characters and story were great! I also enjoyed how the Squip wasn't even malicious.

I disagree with some other reviewers

I’ve seen other people say they don’t like this books ending. I think it’s the perfect ending. I don’t think there could be any other ending too this book.

Was looking for the musical

Realized it wasn't but still loved it. It was engaging and was so funny, too!
