Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close

5.0

This book is great for readers who love a lot of thoughtful character development. By the end of the book, I felt that I knew each character so well that I could already predict their response to situations before I read what was on the page. Each character is flawed and dysfunctional in different ways. It’s an excellent portrayal of a typical family, with all the ups and downs that go with it. The overarching plot line was blurry and meandering, but was not the focus of the book - the main takeaway was the rich characters, and their redemption or lack thereof. Delightful read.
