The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
3.0
You’ve got your Katniss, your Tris, and countless of other chosen one heroines/heroes to last a lifetime (probably), and whilst it is interesting to read the struggles and the challenges of our chosen one, sometime you wonder what it would be like to be those living on the sidelines, right? What it would be like to be Primrose, or some random ass people living on the outskirts of all the interesting events happening in the story? Oh, you don’t? Well neither do I, well until I read the premise of this book.
I was very excited upon finding this book, I was curious about the take on those who are not the chosen one. And to be honest, it was interesting, to some extent. It was interesting and enjoyable until I realised that Mikey is a constant complainer and I lost count at how many times I’ve rolled my eyes out of boredom.
I would like to be less judgemental and mean towards the book, because I still maintain my opinion about the interesting premise but after awhile this just feels like a whole book of teenagers complaining. Ugh! I don’t mean to take lightly what sort of depression or mental illness that Mickey is going through, it’s just I feel like I’ve waste a good portion of my two days reading about nothing. As the story ends, I can’t help but wonder what was the whole entire story about.
Apart from the interesting premise, there was nothing else that interests me about this book. I was lead to believe this book was about those who are not the chosen ones, but I ended up getting a story about something that just goes round and round and round over the same thing over and over again. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

Boring and redundant.
