Be More Chill

Product Information

One boy’s exploration of what it takes to be “cool”, how to get a girl and what (not) to do when you’ve got one.

Jeremy is uncomfortable and tries to get away, but the SQUIP forces him to remain in the situation as it escalates to Chloe making out with Jeremy ("Do You Wanna Hang?After an awkward conversation with his dad (still not wearing pants), Jeremy decides to check the SQUIP out. Rather than fading, interest in his work has grown, as a new generation of young fans discovers his books.

Michael comes across a distraught Jeremy who tells him the truth about the SQUIP and how it has been influencing him for the last few months. Hopefully that way Christine will understand that the disaster at the play was the squip’s fault, not Jeremy’s. By instructing him on everything from what to wear, to how to talk and walk, the squip transforms Jeremy from Supergeek to superchic. In December 2020, it was announced that author David Levithan and comic book artist Nick Bertozzi would adapt the book into a graphic novel. The last novel published before his death, House of Secrets, was a middle-grade fantasy novels co-written with filmmaker Chris Columbus; it debuted on the New York Times best-seller list.Jeremy uses his newfound coolness to begin and end a series of shallow relationships with the girls in his school. He just rolls with the punches, but it doesn’t feel like a character trait as much as a lack of characterization. On December 9, 2019, casting for the London production was announced, with Scott Folan as Jeremy, Blake Patrick Anderson as Michael, Miracle Chance as Christine, and Stewart Clarke as the SQUIP. You take it, and the quantum computer, which is inside the pill, travels through your bloodstream and up into your brain. It finally made it to the currently reading stack (late, naturally) when I attempted to check out a copy for Young Adult Week.

Tells him that he needs to get rid of the squip by drinking Mountain Dew Red (which was never mentioned by anyone until this point). And I honestly think that’s better than the book where the characters are pretty much the same person with just fancy phrases, more sex, drugs, and girls around them plus wardrobe change. Be More Chill has been heavily criticized for its depiction of high school social and sexual relationships.Then, it’s goodbye porn and geekdom, and hello hot chicks, parties and a whole new perspective on life. Gr 9 Up—In this graphic adaptation of the 2004 YA novel (which spawned a cult musical), Jeremy, an unpopular teen with a crush on Christine, a castmate in his school play, decides to get a SQUIP, a brain implant that will help him "be more chill. On October 20, 2018, it was announced that Shawn Levy and Greg Berlanti will team up to produce a film adaptation of both the novel and the musical, with Joe Iconis serving as executive producer.
