MARRYING THE KETCHUPS, Jennifer Close. A close-knit Chicago family and proprietors of a popular restaurant must reconsider everything they hold dear when the patriarch of the family dies, the Chicago Cubs win the World Series, and Donald Trump is elected president. “Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that propulsiveness is a quality that’s hard to explain and harder still to teach — but if Jennifer Close ever felt like running a course on it, I’d sign up,” writes Liz Moore in the New York Times. Aggregated critical reviews, Amazon, Bookshop, Libro.fm.

BIRDS OF CALIFORNIA, Katie Cotugno. After their careers veer dramatically off course, two former child actors with secrets reunite to consider remaking the show they made as kids, falling in love in the process. Amazon, Bookshop, Libro.fm.
