2024 book 129

 Kevin Wilson's Nothing to See Here

Christina recommended this so enthusiastically to me that I immediately bumped it to the top of my to-read list! And it lived up to the hype! I can give a brief plot summary but it won’t capture how compelling this is, and how much I loved the narrative voice. But ok, it’s about a woman working a couple of dead end jobs, living in her mother's attic, when her wealthy best friend from high school—now married to a senator—gets in touch, wanting to hire her to take care of her two step-children, who occasionally catch on fire. This book is so charmingly weird and I love all these weird people caring about each other. So good. A.
