![]() ![]() ![]() We are introduced to 17-year-old Mike, his older sister Melinda and their friends Jared (who is part-God) and Henna (interestingly, for charity Patrick Ness auctioned off the chance to have your name appear as a character in this book and Henna Silvennoinen was the winner!) who are just about to graduate from high-school and head off for new lives in college. As I experienced before, Ness is just a delight to read, so easy and eloquent, while effortlessly building characters that feel so real. I knew this was a Young Adult book and the opening sentence (above) quickly let me know that it would be set in the realms of fantasy, but other than that, I had no details of the plot and just dived in. I was also drawn to the blue-tipped edges, I just love little details like that. Opening sentence: “Chapter The First, in which the Messenger of the Immortals arrives in a surprising shape, looking for a permanent Vessel and after being chased by her through the woods, indie kid Finn meets his final fate.”Įarlier this year, I read my first book by Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls, and it is still one of my favourite 2017 reads, so when I spotted The Rest of Us Just Live Here in the library, I thought I would give it a go. The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness ![]()
