luce_sa 's review for:
The Rest of Us Just Live Here
by Patrick Ness
I didn't know what to expect from this book... I didn't want to read any opinion about it because it was my first time reading this author and I needed to be surprise.
So this is going to be completely honest...
It felt real.
The characters were absolutely common and with so much to tell. The existential traumas they live is exactly what we have to go through every day, and sometimes we don't even know it... Or we like to ignore it!
Living the story through Mikey's mine was incredibly interesting, considering how much this kid has to face in his day by day. I liked this character a lot!
And "the Indie kids" I want to get to know them better, they were such a mystery.
... I also sensed a kind of John Green writing style, maybe because of the realness of the personalities and the story, it felt familiar.
And... I don't know if this is something that Ness does very often but that magical "thing" at the end was really good.
So I guess "Sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in the ordinary", right?...
