terynce 's review for:

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
1.0
sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Trying to think of something redeeming about this book and I'm coming up empty. 

Kids catch on fire. It's not explained why or how. Nothing happens to the "bad guys" such as they are; there is no comeuppance. You may not actively hate anyone, but you certainly don't like several characters. They won't face any consequences.
And the kids end up with someone that cares about them, but  is probably unprepared for raising them.
 

Being exceedingly generous, this book after several rewrites, intense revision, and a reimagining maybe could leap up to glance mediocrity. And miss.
