review 1: Wow, this book has gotten a vast range of reviews! I tend to like memoirs in general and this one appealed to me instantly. I feel like the author of the book has been blasted for being immature and childish, which really surprised me. I felt like I was watching Kristine grow up throughout the book. I found her relationship with her grandma endearing and her candid writing engaging. This was an engaging book, and I thought very relatable. It's difficult as a 20-something today trying to find out where you belong and where you want to be. There are so many different roles women can fill today and often the age when a woman comes to terms with herself and her goals comes later than it used to. There are many stages of "coming of age" now, in my honest opinion.Overall, this b... moreook really spoke to me. I cried with the family at the loss of a grandfather, sympathized with Kristine as she fought to make relationships work, fell slowly for Chris, and whole heartedly adored her relationship with her grandmother. Yes, the characters overall could have used some more development, but at the same time they were background players. The writing isn't the best I have ever read, but it's far from the worst (50 Shades of Grey, Twilight, I'm looking at you). How to Love an American Man is a fast read, and it made me think. I think it's worth a shot. PS - I hope there is a sequel! The ending was another thing I wasn't quite satisfied with, but I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say more!
review 2: This book was really boring. Focusing mainly on the relationship between the main character, Kristine, and her grandmother, the other main idea in the book was that Kristine doesn't know how to go about finding a man who lives up to her idolized grandfather. The only reason I kept reading was that I wanted to know if she finally got the guy...even though the guy seemed distant, disappointing and just not that into her. Not recommended. less
