I don't know what impact this book left on me. I assume an important one. I still love the book despite the controversy, maybe also in spite of it. My grandmother was born in Jackson. She and Mae Mobley would've been a week apart, if they were both alive and real, respectively. Her side of the story, what would've been my grandmother's I mean, isn't shown, but maybe someone story she would've known was. Maybe her auntie or cousin or someone who she went to church with, had her mother not moved out of the South before she was three months old. I don't know. The story's very real. Whether or not it connects to you personally, who doesn't have a soft spot for those?

there were a few loose ends with Minny and Aibileen that i would’ve liked to see tied but i think it ended in a good spot regardless.
Hilly gets very cartooney-villain at the end of the book which i think distracts from the serious topics in it but i think all in all it was all handled pretty well
