"This book is based on the 1960 civil rights movement in America. It tackles meaningful issues such as social injustice. Eugenia Skeeter, after graduation from college, returns home to Mississippi. She writes a book of what it was like to be a black maid in Mississippi. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a new book." - O. Scheine
4/4 stars.
"This book is an intriguing love story/mystery that is written beautifully. It was about a couple in love, married 10 years, but the woman had a mysterious past that the husband knew nothing about. Her "past life" is ever-so-slowly revealed. I highly recommend this book. I could not put it down." - L. Caran

"This story was full of suspense, twists, and turns, but I was disappointed to have figured out the plot twist at the end. The story's main character, Emily, believes she has found the love of her life in a man named Adam. Only trouble - his controlling, manipulative mother. It appears as if his mother wants Emily gone from her son's life and is willing to lie, scheme, and manipulate to get what she wants. Adam, on his part, seems oblivious to his mother's antics. |

"From the cover, this book appeared to be a light and breezy beach read. It was definitely not the case, however! This was a timely book that dealt with trauma and its aftermath, an unlikely friendship between two strong female characters, and the evolving role of women in society. I found it somewhat slow in the beginning, but it builds to a steady pace and held my interest throughout." - D. Cohen 3/4 stars. |

"Is it possible to grieve for a book? Just minutes after finishing this fine novel, I find myself overcome. This lovely, at-times triumphant, spirited and deeply insightful novel speaks of mortality with softness and care and humor. The two terminally ill protagonists, 17-year-old Lenni and 83-year-old Margot, are hard to let go of... and I suppose, really, that is the point of it all. Please, please, don't miss reading this one." - C. Murray 4/4 stars. |
