Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close

3.0

---

This book felt like a liberal woman’s comedic Franzen novel. I quite enjoyed it as a sort of vacation read but it’s really just about the falling apart of a middle class white American family. I do think the author wove in semi-current politics and feelings well, but I don’t imagine the story will hold up for much longer. Maybe she should write about how Sullivan’s makes it through Covid (or not!).
