For all of you out there who have ever loved a Buffy, a Katniss or a Harry, the opening sections of each chapter will resonate loud and clear while also making you laugh to the point of tears. As a riff on the Chosen One genre, The Rest of Us Just Live Here is both clever and extremely funny not to mention pretty meta.

The Rest of Us Just Live Here takes the idea of a Chosen One and asks: what about everyone else? What about the kids just trying to make it to graduation? What about the boy trying to figure out where he fits in while desperately hoping that his school stays intact this year? Protagonist Mikey is just that boy and as another Chosen One fights another battle that may or may not end in the apocalypse, Mikey has his own battles to fight, his own mundane existence to navigate and his own extraordinary, ordinary life to live.
