“I can’t believe how good this book is.... It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times Book Review

Kevin Wilson’s best book yet—a poignant and often humorous novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with remarkable abilities.

Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help.

Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins catch fire when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth.

Thinking of her dead-end life at home, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for?

With sharp humor and genuine warmth, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unique story of parental love.

A spontaneous combustion of fun and heart.

Kevin Wilson’s combination of irreverence, humanity, and charm and Marin Ireland’s flawless execution of it is a match lit in heaven. I found (protagonist) Lillian’s arc relatable and inspiring—despite the absurdity of the circumstance she found herself in. My ADD tends to get the best of me with a lot of audiobooks, but Nothing to See Here had me glued to my headphones, and I finished it within a day.

Absolutely Incredible.

The narrator did an amazing job at reading this. Normally female voices arent good at doing voices of men, but this person did incredible. I could feel the emotion the entire time, not just from the voice of the narrator. The story was extremely enjoyable, with lots of moment that just made me laugh.
Overall an amazing book, I think I’ll be listening to this one again and again.
I love this so much, and would definitely recommend it to anyone
