Six starred reviews!

A bold and irreverent YA novel that powerfully reminds us that there are many different types of remarkable, The Rest of Just Live Here is from novelist Patrick Ness, author of the Carnegie Medal- and Kate Greenaway Medal-winning A Monster Calls and the critically acclaimed Chaos Walking trilogy.

What if you aren't the Chosen One? The one who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death?

What if you're like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.

Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week's end of the world, and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life.

Even if your best friend is worshipped by mountain lions.

  • Not the Chosen One: A hilarious and heartfelt satire where the paranormal apocalypse is just background noise to the real problems: graduating, going to prom, and surviving your own family.
  • Teen Mental Health Representation: Follow Mikey as he navigates the loops of his anxiety and OCD, reminding readers that sometimes the biggest battles are the ones inside your own head.
  • YA Contemporary Fantasy: In a town where indie kids fight soul-eating ghosts and someone blows up the high school (again), finding the extraordinary in the ordinary is the only way to survive.
  • Unforgettable Friend Group: Because when your best friend is worshipped by mountain lions, you need a crew that has your back, no matter what.

    Buch (Taschenbuch)

    the chosen one who has to save the world and sacrifice (some of) their friends while doing so only to heroically fulfill their destiny in the end! that's NOT what this book is about. sure, all that stuff is indeed happening and it's kind of part of the story - but it's not the focus! it's not even a "minor plot point"; instead it's just happening in the background while the main characters are just normal high school kids with (mostly) normal problems and all that

    Refreshingly Different

    "The Rest of Us Just Live Here" is a fun and quick read that for once focuses on the non-special teenagers rather than the chosen ones who go around saving the world. Mikey and his friends have four weeks left before graduation. Just four weeks before the wind will scatter them in different directions and everything will begin to change. While the indie kids use this time to fight some evil supernatural enemy, Mikey and his friends have to deal with more personal issues. Teen angst, psychological issues, love and above all friendship are the most prominent topics featured in this refreshing YA novel. I like how the author focuses on the underdogs rather than the heroes and shows that everyone has their load to bear. Mikey, Henna, Mel and Jared are very likeable and relatable characters and make up a tight-knit group of friends some might envy for their group dynamic. Alongside the issues addressed in this book - which, to me, is done very authentically, considering its length - I also appreciate the little summaries of the supernatural goings-on at the beginning of each chapter. They are just hilarious - even though they kind of make fantasy novels look ridiculous. Patrick Ness hasn't written a story that has never been there before, but his writing style and structure offer a different kind of reading experience than most of us are used to. Recommended!
