From page 1, I was pulled into Kevin Wilson's Nothing to See Here. He has created intriguing characters who evoked in me mixed emotions and strong feelings. Between Lillian and Madison, especially, there is a skillful, almost delicate, rendering of the nature and complexity of their relationship.
The plot, incorporates a strong element of the paranormal, 10 year old twins who burst into flames when upset. Typically, the use of pseudoscientific theory is enough to zap my interest. However, in this story, the outlandish hoax of spontaneous human combustion works. I suspended disbelief and just went along for the ride! It was easy because no matter how frequent or severe the episodes were, the twins came out unhurt, completely uninjured.
There is so much to like about this engaging book, I highly recommend it.
I am deducting a point for (imho) too many f bombs and other profanities.
