Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading The rest of us just live here by Patrick Ness. I'm reading a copy from the library whilst listening to the audiobook. Reading this for the Magical Readathon for Restoration with the prompt: Close your eyes, shuffle and point. This is a young adult fantasy book.

Really liking this so far. I love the writing style. There is a lot of humour in it and the diversity in this book is amazing. So many identities and mental health issues represented! But it also doesn't feel like everyone needs to be diverse, like in some books. It doesn't feel forced. The story itself is very original and I love that.

There were some small things I didn't like, so therefore not the full five stars. But this was really good and I really loved reading it. Highly recommend.
