The amount of slurs and problematic age gaps, the normalisation of grooming, the white savior complex...
the only good things were the plot twist, that actually took me by surprise, that they just straight up ate his body, so he wouldnt be found, like i did NOT expect that part! and then also the last couple of pages after the old lady died when Evelyn visited the grave and saw the letter and the flowers and when Idgie was selling honey to that family, that was kinda nice, to get at least soewhat of an answer to the question of what happened to her, after the café closed down
