How to Love an American Man

While in AZ I finished the book How to Love an American Man I believe it was one of those $1 deals on kindle.  


The book is about a 28 year old women who Grandfather dies and moves back to PA to help her Grandmother. Over the course of living at home she discovers new stories and learns about love from her grandmothers point of view. Here's the summary:


Kristine Gasbarre made a New York career of dating driven, inaccessible men. When she realizes her love life will never result in happiness if she continues on the same path, she makes a big decision—relocating to Italy to discover her roots and find out what defines her adoring grandpa. But upon receiving the news of his sudden passing, she is lured away.
With nowhere left to go, Krissy returns to her small hometown for the first time in a decade to help care for her grandmother—a refined, private matriarch suffering from early dementia along with the loss of her husband. In her reluctant agreement to share the nearly lost love stories and transformative lessons from her rich sixty-year marriage, Krissy’s grandma becomes the one offering comfort as she coaches her granddaughter through the fear of loving. Grandma’s unapologetic femininity and secret giving spirit opens Krissy’s eyes about relationships, teaching her the single most important requisite for loving a man: first a woman has to learn the power of her own inner beauty.

I didn't love the book but I didn't hate it either, from the summary I thought it was going to be a good family book type of read. I enjoyed reading the sections of the book where the grandmother talked about conducting yourself as a lady to catch a man (these sections were both humorous and just good to hear or in this case read).
