We Can Save Us All by Adam Nemett

3.0

The cover blurb compares this to Don Delillo, but that's a mistake. It deals with the kinds of end-of-days disasters that Delillo would but the focus is mostly on personal relationships and insecurities. And that's a fine choice and an interesting one, but it made it a little hard to feel the sense of urgency that the characters seem to be faced with. There was also a point when things were coming to a climax and I thought, "Wait, these are a bunch of 19-year-olds." That also made it hard to really take seriously.
