We Can Save Us All by Adam Nemett
4.0
This was a delightfully surprising novel. Part White Noise, part Fight Club, part Avengers: Infinity War.
Using superheros, cults, magnetic personalities, and really average ones, Adam Nemett carves a kryptonite spear through millennial intellectualism, fatalism, and generational feuds all while reaming incredibly readable to those of us who roll their eyes when those words come up in conversation.
****Below be spoilers****
One more thing I want to congratulate this novel on is being written in 3rd person. Perspective matters a lot for a novel like this. When you tackle very real and consequential issues like sexual assault on campus it really helps that our narrator can take a firm stance without compromising the gray morality of our characters. Calling out our protagonist when he utterly fails to do the right thing.
While it doesn't always come togeather it never flies apart. 3rd person novel that commits to going off the rails, it's interesting and feels new very refreshing. Check it out you will have a good time.
