I loved this book!

I finally got to finish it yesterday. These days I only like to read if I can spend at least an hour at a time doing it so it took a while to find those hour blocks, but once I found them it didn't take very many for me to finish. I LOVED reading this book!

I can't wait to see it as a movie. For some reason I thought about the whole time I read.

Also, Randi - do you really think that Elizabeth was the worst villain in the book? I thought Hilly was the nastiest. I guess I kind of saw Elizabeth as some kind of a victim of Hilly. I mean don't get me wrong, we all make our own choices, but she was just trying to make Hilly think she was cool. And Hilly knew it. She knew that about everyone and she manipulated them. That's why I think she was the worst.

I can't wait to hear what Cami has to say about it having lived in Jackson. I mean I know she was young, but I'm sure it became part of her family culture.

Also, I'm not sure about that part at Celia's with the naked man in the yard. Maybe it was because I read that part when I only had 10 minutes to read so it was kind of choppy for me. It seemed like all of a sudden there was this terrible thing that a black and white woman were sharing and overcame together, but it just seemed kind of out of the blue. Anybody else?

Hmmm, what else.... I wondered a lot which character I would have identified with had I been born a white girl in Jackson, Mississippi at that time. Now, without a doubt I would be some version of Skeeter, but I always wonder how strong I could be if that's what I grew up in. Anybody else?

I love you all. Good work with all the amazing things you're doing in your lives right now.

Is it my turn to choose next?
