About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

It broke my heart and I cried when it came to the last chapter. Now everything makes sense as to why whenever there were curse words it would be written like "s_i_" or "f___". I loved the book and it was absolutely amazing. I also listen to the songs from the musical. Also I loved how the book took place in New Jersey, I was born in New Jersey and lived here all my life, and its really hard to find books that take place in NJ so thank you Ned for having my new favorite book take place in NJ.

With an relatable protagonist who has problems most have had in high school, hilarious tongue-in-cheek dialogue, a criminally underrated musical that only few true fans know about, an author who knows what he is doing and multi-sided characters we can all feel for: Be More Chill is one under-the-radar book from an under-the-radar author that should be celebrated for its honest realism with teenage life and science fiction elements being well mixed together.

I heard the cast songs I've seen the play and I have the book I LOVE IT! It's amazing I'm giving it a 5/5 and I know, its a bit a of a cliche, topical geek, turned into cool player, just to impress that one girl he was aiming for but she liked the old him and stuff but it's really good and I sincerely recommend it!
