I love this movie so decided to read the book, and I did enjoy the book but was very uncomfortable with the racism and racial slurs used. The friendship between Evelyn and ninny is wholesome and of course I will always love the love between Idgie and Ruth but it’s very hard to get past the racist depictions of other characters. Overall I actually enjoyed the movie more.
