Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Be More Chill
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 Supergeek to superchic. Now an off-Broadway musical!Alternate cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I never cared for the cool people. Me, I have always wanted to read books about outcasts: impossibly flawed and so truly themselves. I found comfort reading about people who didn't fit in, but who fit in their own skin. People who were themselves in their original way, who I wanted to be like, because they weren't scared of themselves. Jeremy Heere, the protagonist of Be More Chill is an outcast, a weirdo. But not in a way that I liked, as bitchy as that may sound. The entire book (apart fromBe More Chill follows the story of Jeremy Heere, a dorky theater-nerd who seems to spend all his time looking at porn and masturbating (yep that's your hero folks!). After failing to woo his crush with chocolate, he hears rumors of a new technology called a "squip" a microcomputer that can make you cool or smarter or whatever you're lacking. After selling some of his aunt's beloved beanie babies, Jeremy gets a blackmarket squip.The squip changes his life--taking him from dud to stud in record
A weird and awesome exploration of a story I was already familiar with. Ned has a unique voice that taps into the core of teenage angst.
I read this book when it came out in 2004. I LOVED it so much and tried to get all my friends to read it. Nobody was interested. Surprise now its a broadway musical that everyone loves. Lol. I was cool before it was cool ;-)
Review is now up on Diva Reads!
I dont know what to think about this book. I want to think positively about it because I really like the musical, but its so different and there are multiple issues with this book. It follows Jeremy who is in high school and has extremely low self esteem, and a massive crush on a girl called Christine.Why is Jeremy so mean to Michael? And why did Michael just accept all of Jeremys crap? At some point Jeremy should have realised that the Squip is just a piece of technology and Michael has been
The musical is 10X better
