Be More Chill: A Novel
by Ned Vizzini
Jeremy Heere hates rollcall. He
can't reply with "here" because that would sound stupid. He usually says "present." One day, however, a guy who rarely speaks to geeky Jeremy gives him a tip: a small pill containing a microcomputer can change geek to cool - all it costs is $500. Jeremy steals some beanie babies, scratches up the cash, and swallows the pill. Not only does he learn a new way to answer rollcall ("Yo.") but he finds life on the inside has just as many problems as life on the outside. This book is absolutely hysterical in many parts, but does contain adult situations and lots of colorful language; like any book I recommend: read at your own risk.
