I can't recall how I came upon No One Is Coming To Save Us; but I'll admit that the cover art is one of the factors that led me to read it. As far as the story is concerned, it was okay. I understand the Great Gatsby comparison and what's ironic is that I felt meh about that novel too. As a resident of NC that isn't very familiar with the different cities & towns within the state, I enjoyed reading about what small town- living in NC feels like from someone who has personally experienced it (I assume that the author is from a small NC town but I'm not sure). The characters were interesting too and Watts did a good job at weaving their lives together in a way that made the story engaging. However, like I said before, I wasn't blown away by the story; but I would definitely read another novel written by Stephanie Powell Watts.
