Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close

5.0

This book was such a delicious love letter to Chicago, to the weird magic liminality of that week where the Cubs won the world series and then Hilary Clinton didn't become president, to the complexity of family and growing up. I loved it; it gave me midwestern Pineapple Street and if you enjoy a low-medium stakes family drama with much heart + many laughs, this too could be for you.
