Summary From Goodreads:


Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who's always taken orders quietly, but lately she's unable to hold her bitterness back. Her friend Minny has never held her tongue but now must somehow keep secrets about her employer that leave her speechless. White socialite Skeeter just graduated college. She's full of ambition, but without a husband, she's considered a failure. Together, these seemingly different women join together to write a tell-all book about work as a black maid in the South, that could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town...

Review:

First off I would like to say that I watched the movie of this book before I read the book. I was hesitant to read the book before the movie only because I did not think I would like the book, but boy was I wrong! I liked how you got to know each of the characters more through their point of views. I liked each and every character in this book in one way or other but my absolute favorite character has to be Minny just because of what she did to Miss Hilly with the 'Terrible Awful' thing. (if you have read or seen the movie you know what I mean:) This book is an awesome read, and it's a funny-fast paced book that you do not want to miss!
