Audiobook Review: No One Is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts
No One Is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Published: 2017
No One Is Coming to Save Us is a hard book to explain. Set in North Carolina it follows the life of 5 people who are related and not related.
First there is Ava who is desperate to have a child, but she barely sees her husband Henry and she has had too many miscarriages to count.
Then there is Sylvia, Ava's mother who is the stereotypical black mother, in everyone's business and determined to get the best for her child.
Up next is Jay Jay who used to live in the same small town. At the first opportunity he moved away from the small town, but now he is back and wants to win back Ava's affection.
Henry, is Ava's husband and he hasn't done right by her and when she finds out, all bets are off.
Don, is Sylvia's husband, but they haven't lived together since Ava was a little girl.
All of these people are living their lives in small town North Carolina. There really wasn't much of a climax or anything to look forward to in this book. It was a disappointment for me.
