I did really enjoy this book, but the very excessive usage of the N-slur was a bit jarring and off-putting, and how race was addressed in general. I know it’s just realistically depicting the times (I guess?) but it was still difficult to read. Otherwise, I liked the story itself, and especially loved Ruth and Idgie’s relationship.

cozyteareads's review against another edition

This book is really intense, and I’m just not in a place to handle that right now. I don’t even know where to start with content warnings. It also uses a lot of racial slurs over and over, especially the n-word. I recognize that part of it is set in the 1920s in the southern United States, but it just felt like a lot at times.
