Why read it?
1 author picked The Rest of Us Just Live Here as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’d be remiss if I didn’t include this YA by the incomparable Patrick Ness.

It’s both a classic of the genre while also lovingly parodying it. It will make you feel seen. Read it.
From Maxine's list on for NPCs at heart.
