I've always wondered when reading books, what about the people who don't have super powers or a mortal enemy or a special destiny? What do they do while Harry is fighting Voldemort or when Katniss is overthrowing the Capitol? The Rest of Us Just Live Here tells a story of people just like that, but doesn't make it seem boring or pointless. The story was a bit slow for me at the beginning, but picked up pretty quickly, and the characters were so sweet and interesting. I wish more people read books by Patrick Ness, I really do. He has yet to disappoint me. 
 I loved this book, and it was great to read a story that shows you don't have to be a superhero to be extraordinary. You just have to 'find the extraordinary in your ordinary life'.
