The Rest of Us Just Live Here

So this book idea sounded pretty cool - the POV of regular kids who aren't “the chosen ones”. But the whole thing fell flat. One of my main gripes was that the main character was not believable at all as a teenage guy. He spends the majority of the book lusting after “the love of his life” and then  when they finally have sex he realizes they are better off as a friends and is okay with it??. 

I also wanted to hear more from the indie kids. Learn more about them or have more interaction with them. I felt they could have kept the concept but at the same time highlighted the differences some more of their differences. 

Overall it was just an okay book. I think I'm disappointed because it COULD have been more, but it just “was”.
