lilencius 's review for:
Be More Chill
by Ned Vizzini
(ive thought ab it more and im bumping mu rating down to a 1 star... sorry ned vizzini :()
i really liked it's kind of a funny story but i absolutely hate this.
it's so incredibly misogynistic and sexist that i was so, so, SO sure it was satire. at some points it got to being hurtful for me, a female reader, and i had to put the book down for a couple of minutes. i thought for sure that the squip's horrible, horrible comments were going to be addressed but apparently youre supposed to think that it was evil tech that made him abandon who he really was. when he... didn't?? he didn't even stop being friends with his nerdy friend.
all of the women in this book have no personality and suck. they could be replaced by a sexy lamp and everything would be the same. for some reason, the squip and jeremy's dad keep asking him if he's gay. michel's ""thing"" for asian girls is treated like normal. the squib says "females" and "pheromones" and makes jeremy manipulate girls' feelings so they can have sex and he can gain status. girls call each other skanks. and their theater teacher talks in falsetto????
i like the way it ended. kinda. like, i like the idea. it'd be better, though, if christine were a person and not just a set of boobs.
i gave it two starts because it's there. it exists. it was written down. but that's as far as the merits go.
