Takes awhile to get into it, but is a fun lighthearted read with some mystery, romance, and badass women and black characters.

This is my favourite book; I’ve read it at least a couple dozen times and I cry every. single. time. Strong women and sisterhood are major themes in this book, but it also touches on civil rights, and there is a lesbian romance although it is never explicitly stated as such. Evelyn, Ruth, Idgie, & Ninny feel like old friends at this point. Always find myself coming back to read it yet again whenever I come upon life’s many difficulties. Reading it just feels like no matter what happens, everything is going to be ok.

I’m really enjoyed this book! Some things to age well in regard to race. But overall I still really enjoyed the book.

I liked the end of the movie way more than in the book.
