The author of "Be More Chill" takes a poignant look at teenage depression in this remarkably moving and authentic picture of the physicality, the despair, and even the hilarity of depression., Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees entry into Manhattan?'s Executive Pre-Professional High School as the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life'which means getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job?Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance exam, and does. &   That?'s when things start to get crazy. At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared to the other kids; he?'s just average, and maybe not even that. He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away.&   The stress becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping'until, one night, he nearly kills himself. Craig?'s suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio.&   There, isolated from the crushing pressures of school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety.

    A+++++ Seller! Professor's syllabus listed the wrong book for the course, and told us of the mistake the first day of class. Contacted seller textbooks_source ASAP, and they were able to stop and refund the first order. I then purchased this textbook as the correct book for the course. Textbook received as described. This is a great seller. I would (and did) purchase from again. A++++++!!!!!!!

    I needed this for a class I am enrolled in and the seller delivered with amazing results for a unbeatable price. Normal price point was way over my budget and I am so happy I found this seller. Item arrived on time and packaged with care. Came exactly as described without any damage or defects. Will purchase from seller again for next course!

    Purchased and quickly cancelled order. The seller monitors messages and cancelled the order before it shipped with a full refund. Honest seller, good prices, and excellent customer service. I would reconsider purchasing from this seller. A++
