Quick easy read, and parts of it really enjoyable. I just….don’t think it has aged well at all. Lot of moments and characterizations that aren’t sitting right with me. Definitely a case where the movie is superior.

Book does confirm Ruth and Idgie were more than “roommates” though lol

Love this book so much!

Somehow, having watched the movie when it first came out, I never got the memo that it was a book. So it this was a pleasant discovery. Even better, I liked the outrageousness in the book just as much.
