For Your Reading List  Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson Weird, funny, but also unexpectedly moving, Wilson, most famous for the 2011 bestseller The Family Fang, has written a novel with an unusual premise: Lillian, a 28-year-old salesclerk living in her mother’s attic, gets a phone call from an old high school friend, Madison. Madison, both beautiful and rich, needs Lillian’s help watching over her two oddball stepchildren, Bessie and Roland, who have a bad habit of catching on fire whenever they are upset. Unblinking, Wilson takes this premise and rolls with it. Lillian’s blunt narration paired with the twins’ dark childhood make the book an affecting reflection on the blithe cruelty of the rich and what it means to be a good parent.
