Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
5.0
emotional funny

This is one of the books that when I finished it, I found myself saying. "What the fuck did I just read? I dunno what it was but I loved the shit out of it."

Kevin Wilson tells a really interesting story about two children that combust. Like, literally. They just catch on fire. And TBH, I am sort of jealous. 

We are following Lillian who was roommates with Madison at a private, pretegious high school and Madison's family because they had money fucked Lillian right over and pretty much ruined the trajectory of her life. (Typical rich white folks). Fast forward a lot of years later and Madison is married to some high political figure, they have 'the perfect baby boy' but there is the problem of her husband's children to a previous marriage. The fire twins. Trying to make it up to Lillian, Madison offers Lillian the job of being live-in nanny to the fire children - and these twins are life. 

The twins are literally hilarious. And ultimately it ends up becoming a story of found family and it's everything. I don't know if there is an actual plot to the story, outside of maybe some character development, but I really enjoyed it and it was a nice little escape from reality. I'm excited to check out what else Kevin Wilson has to offer.
