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.
Graphic: Racial slurs, Racism, and Fatphobia
Moderate: Cursing, Domestic abuse, Murder, and Death
