The Rest of Us Just Live Here Overview

The Rest of Us Just Live Here is a young adult satirical fantasy novel by Patrick Ness. In this novel, Mikey, an ordinary teen, and his ordinary friends attempt to live normal lives and to survive an interdimensional invasion which they have no role in stopping. The Rest of Us Just Live Here thus explores uncommon but crucial themes, such as the idea that even average, everyday people also suffer alongside heroes in epic situations, that not everyone can be the Chosen One, and that life is given different meanings by different people.
