Books like Truelove & Homegrown Tomatoes

This was just a bleh book. I thought I would like it because it would be a story of a woman dealing with her grief from the loss of her husband - coming to terms with life. It was so flat and mostly just depressing, though. The characters were stereotypes, and the main character and the secondary main character were remarkably clueless. You would have thought the story happened 60 years ago, or that the main character was 85 instead of 65. She was just always shocked and offended by things (gays! teenagers who want to have sex! 60 year old women making slightly crude jokes! Men using her first name! Bland tomatoes from the grocery store!). All this mixed with a liberal dose of of almost-racism and too much religious enthusiasm. I only finished it because it was short and fast, and I hoped there would be something redeeming about it. I'm very glad I checked it out from the library instead of buying it. The gardening bits don't help.
