“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” How on this vast green earth have I not read this book sooner. It‘s never too late though and I‘m extremely glad I met aibileen, minny, skeeter and mae mobley.

I‘m not really a violent person, but I literally stopped reading and softly threw my bear against the wall because of too much excitement. Stayed up all night to finish this. Loved every fictional heart break and the moments that put the pieces back together.

4/5. The writing is calm and transfixing. The plot build up was just right. It felt like a light read for a summer afternoon, but the ending stirs up just the right amount of emotions.
