Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini
3.0
emotional funny reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 
What it's about: A teen boy installs a computer in his brain to make him cooler. Hijinks ensues.
What I liked: 
  • -This was a really neat commentary on the internet that is only made more relevant by the advent of smart phones years after this books was written.
  • -The author's writing style is approachable and engaging.
What I didn't like: 
  • Sometimes the characters were a bit whiny. The main character could get a bit gross and irritating. 
  • Yes, teen boys are gross porn addicts.  Reading this can sometimes be a bit...much.
