Marrying the Ketchups
by Jennifer Close
I’m a sucker for a multigenerational family drama set in/around Chicago and will always pick up a book with this premise and/or setting. The writing, dialogue, and characters were an added bonus!
Chicago in 2016/17 – an odd time when it felt like the world was ending with the cubs winning the World Series and a notorious election leaving many in shock. It’s a weird, blurry, sliver of time to revisit, but Jennifer Close captured it in a unique and fun way. I loved the cast of characters. They’re messy, spoiled, kind of annoying, but real and lovable in their own unique ways. At the heart of it all is the family restaurant, Sullivans, which truly is its own living and breathing character that was an entertaining backdrop weaving all these storylines together.
