After years apart, Y/N moves back to her hometown, ready to surprise her childhood best friend, Michael Mell - the boy she once promised to be "best friends forever" with. But things have changed. Michael's still the same dorky, hoodie-wearing gamer she remembers, only now he's lonelier than ever after losing his best friend Jeremy to something called a SQUIP - a supercomputer pill that turns you into the "perfect" version of yourself.
Reunited, Y/N and Michael fall back into their old rhythm - late-night video games, slushie runs, shared laughter, and quiet moments that start to feel like something more. But when Y/N is offered a SQUIP herself, she realizes how dangerous it really is and how far she'll go to protect Michael.
As the chaos of the SQUIP epidemic spreads, the two must face betrayal, heartbreak, and impossible choices to save their friends - and maybe discover that love and loyalty are stronger than any upgrade.
Filled with nostalgia, humor, and heart, Always Be More Chill is a story about growing up, holding on, and realizing that sometimes being "uncool" is exactly what makes you special.
