If more books had headers like this one, I’d definitely consider reading the chapter headings. The thing about this book is the chapters have little sentence long stories about the Indie kids that I. Also, the only chapter I remember from the 15 Cassandra Clare books I’ve read is Chapter 1: Pandemonium (from City of Bones). I can probably name ONE chapter title from Harry Potter. I prefer “Chapter One” because honestly, I don’t have time or patience to read chapter titles. I am all about books that don’t give chapters title.

Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. The one who’s supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death? The Rest of Us Just Live Here is a book by Patrick Ness about the regular people – the Not-Chosen One’s in fantasy. The Chosen One is a trope present in almost every piece of young adult fantasy I’ve encountered thus far (also hello Harry Potter! Also, this was the main premise of my senior thesis) I’m definitely not against tropes and archetypes – if they’re done correctly.

I majored in English so picking apart and analyzing different pieces of literature is really a fun time for me. Tropes and archetypes make reading really fun for me.
