Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close
4.0

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this novel. I’ve read all of Jennifer Close’s novels and I really enjoy her writing. I’d give this one a 3.5 but I rounded up to 4 stars.

This book is the story of the Sullivan family who own a restaurant in Chicago. The story focuses mostly
on sisters Jane & Gretchen and their cousin Teddy. It’s a nice novel about a family and their various issues (high school drama, divorce, an affair) but nothing overly interesting or exciting happens.

Having worked in restaurants in the past, I really enjoyed the restaurant scenes and depiction of restaurant work, but I spent a lot of the book waiting for something to really happen.

I didn’t love this one but I will definitely read Close’s next novel.
