fanned the flames with an absolutely rhapsodic, bordering on gushy review by author Taffy Brodesser-Akner on its cover. The book focuses on the relationship between Lillian and Madison, roommates at an elite boarding school until drugs are discovered in their room. Madison’s wealthy father pays Lillian to take the blame and the expulsion, and the two friends barely speak until Lillian sends a letter asking for help.
Madison has married to a senator on a fast track to become secretary of state. Lillian is terrified of being the caretaker of his twin stepkids, who have an unusual condition: a penchant to combust when they get agitated. Lillian needs the job and an escape from her dead-end home life. So she becomes caretaker to the children, her main job to keep them from bursting into flames. The comedic metaphorical premise has been drawing critical raves for the author.
