4.5 stars.

I was wholly unprepared for how darkly funny this book would be--I expected it to be more intense, but I actually liked the direction it took. Wilson's phrasing is hilarious (who knew the phrase "fire children" could make me laugh out loud so many times?), while effectively conveying the importance of belonging and love.

I also found Lillian to be extremely likable in her sarcastic, awkward way.
