The Rest of Us Just Live Here had so many great elements to it - perspective from the kids who aren't "the chosen ones", discussion around mental health and eating disorders, strong sibling relationships, and a fun writing style, where "the chosen one" storyline is included with short paragraphs at the beginning of each chapter.
