How do I put my love for this book into words?! 
 I loved everything about this book. E v e r y t h i n g. All three narrators--especially Minny, but it was honestly so hard to pick a favorite--Mae, the drama with Miss Hilly and the Terrible Awful Thing, Skeeter's deal with the publisher, honestly everything. I honestly could not put this book down, heck, I read 150+ pages today alone. 
 Honestly, I think this book is one of the finest when it comes to portraying racial segregation in the '60s. Some people think we should just 'let the subject die, that was a long time ago,' but I don't think that's true at all. Mid-20th century racial segregation is as important to America's history as the Civil War or the Great Depression and I think it's wrong to just sweep the subject under the rug like it never happened. If you're looking to learn more about the subject...read The Help. You won't regret it. 
 One of my most favorite books.
