The rest of us just live here was extraordinary, with it have two stories to be told throughout the book. The main story is of a boy who has presumably OCD, with it getting severe as the town gets weird action happening and with his life becoming somewhat complicated. The second story is told in the chapter headings. 
 The author, Patrick Ness, had a power over you to finish this book (which I personally cannot figure out where it should be placed in the YA section.) It is a sort of mash up between fantasy and contemporary. It's a refreshing concept in both worlds and that's probably why I didn't have the strength within me to put the book down, because it was so good. At first I was like, "This is so weird" but the weirdness of the book was what held my attention, my thoughts and my drive to finish it, wondering where the book was going and how it was going to end. 
 In the end I loved this book. Like I cannot actually tell you how much I love this book because of its quirkiness and the introduction of so many different concepts, scenes, actions, characters and so on and so on. Outstanding, vividly quirky and just so damn original.
