Welcome to Litsy!

Listened to the book because my teenager likes the musical based on the book. It was ok. Apparently the musical is more dramatic 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wish I read this as a teen, as I know I would have liked it a lot more. I appreciated the humor. It doesn't hold a candle to It's Kind of a Funny Story, which I have read both in my teens and adulthood.

But it was still pretty good.

The most perfect detail of this new BSC is that musical-lover Mary Anne gets a Be More Chill poster in her newly redecorated room. I can just see this shy, emotional girl rocking out to I Love Play Rehearsal and Michael in the Bathroom and making her own Creeps shirt and stanning the whole cast. This tracks 100%. Way to go, Rachel Shukert. #bsc #babysittersclub #bscnetflix #seemoretheatre #bemorechill #thebabysittersclub

This book is beyond relatable for any awkward teen. The story follows socially unacceptable Jeremy Heere as he navigates high school. Campy with a sci fi twist, a true must read

I read this after a student told me I should get a copy for my classroom library... not quite for middle schoolers, but an interesting and unique storyline. I enjoyed the plot and there were definitely “I can‘t put this book down” moments... but the ending was frustrating. I wanted SO much more. I enjoyed the book, but there were a few irritating aspects of it for sure.

So last week when I was in my feelings about Be More Chill closing my husband surprised me with a copy of the Broadway tie-in edition and a trip to Pinkberry in Austin. 💚💖💚

⭐⭐⭐

I totally get some of the negative reviews from people like myself who fell in love with the musical. There's problematic elements for sure, but I am glad that this book exists. The fact that Ned wrote this before the first iPhone shows how forward thinking he was regarding technology. Without this book the musical and subsequent community that grew around it would not exist. RIP Ned and happy closing day BMC

Because I'm predictable, here's what's up next. #readathon

💕My heart is like wow 🎭

Gonna get a late start on the reverse #readathon and I'm not mad about it.

What to say? I think he was aiming for satire; instead it wound up being some pretty mysoginistic trash. In the book's own words- shutdown.

1. My TomCat in a box. Pretty much all my photos are of my cats, tbh.
2. Fulfilling my "YA nerd" and "musical theatre nerd" proclivities in one fell swoop with Ned Vizzini's Be More Chill.
3. Heading to a friend's cabin this weekend where we will mostly read in companionable silence for two days and I can't wait!
4. A red marker.
5. ? Cheer up, Hamlet/chin up, Hamlet/buck up, you melancholy Dane... ?

Thanks, @MinDea!

Still have no power but I had this thought and sent it to my friend. #bemorechill

Loved this book, hilarious! That ending though 🤔😒 Also if you like musicals check out the musical with the same name! 4/5

Interesting reading material I found at my son's computer tonight. 😂

Very good! I love Vizzini‘s style and wit, and the interesting plot twist the story took. The Squips were something new and innovative, and while it was hilarious to read, it provided thought and had heart. I loved it, and I would recommend if you‘ve read Vizzini before, or if you like YA
