Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close
3.25
emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I didn't immediately love this book. I'm not sure exactly why - it's a delightfully cute story and the characters feel real. It didn't knock my socks off but not every book needs to. Maybe if I loved the Cubbies, it would have resonated better?
