Content snapshot
Flag an inaccuracy →What's in this book, at a glance — five things readers want to know before they start.
Violence
Some
The combustion doesn't injure the children but scorches everything around them; the harm in the book is mostly neglect and the threat of institutionalizing two kids
Language
Very heavy
Reviewers describe Lillian as 'breezily profane' and the humor as 'peppered with casual profanity,' with readers noting several f-words in the first chapter alone
Sexual Content
Some
A brief adult relationship and frank talk about sex; nothing depicted at length
Substance Use
Some
Lillian's backstory includes taking the fall on a drug possession charge; casual drinking and marijuana appear
Emotional Intensity
A lot
Parental abandonment, a mother who sells out her daughter, class humiliation and two children treated as a public-relations problem
What this book is about
Lillian's rich boarding-school roommate Madison, now a senator's wife, needs someone to handle her husband's twins from a previous marriage — the ones with spontaneous combustion. Wilson plays the premise deadpan and uses it to write about class, disposable people, and a woman discovering she is capable of loving somebody.
