Strong 8 out of 10

Be More Chill was a really funny book. This book is about a boy named Jeremy, who is the stereotypical geek in high school. Jeremy has a crush on a girl and he wants to become cool. Then he figures out a way to become cool. The way to become cool is to ingest a micromachine called a squip. The squip lives inside your brain and tells exactly what you need to say to sound cool in any given situation.

description

I think this book requires a certain type of mindset going into it to actually enjoy it. That mindset would be to not take this book seriously at all. This book is definitely meant to be taken satirically. If you take this book at face value that means you'll be horrified by how vulgar this supposed "Young Adult" book is. This book is filled with complex issues such as drugs, partying, alcohol, sexism, stealing, and a whole barrage of other mature themes that I don't want to get into.

This book is absurd. I love all the pop culture references, and I love how all over the place the narrative is. This book is so bad that it is good. I found this book to be really funny, especially all of the Keanu Reeves stuff. I really enjoyed this book.

Also, I did not know that there was a musical going into this book. I read this book because my mother recommended it to me. Also, I definitely wouldn't suspect that this type of book would be made into a musical, just from the book alone.
