The Help






If you haven't already read this book, please do - now. I can't even begin to do the book justice but I will tell you that you were laugh, cry and just feel for all of the women in this book [you'll even hate a few, I know I did]. 

To be honest, Sarah told me to read it MONTHS ago and I picked it up one day at the store but just didn't feel connected... I should have known to listen to Sarah - clearly, she hasn't led me astray [other than all that zombie crap].


In other news, I can't wait to see the movie and see what they do with the characters and how they change the plot... I have some ideas. The only thing that makes me sad is that I want to know more... this is one of those books that you finish and are begging for a sequel/series... oh well, on to the next book!


Here's the preview for the movie to give you an idea of the plot...

    Agreed. I devoured this book and really didn't think I was going to get into it. I read it in a day in the outer banks a few months ago. Can't wait for the movie!

    I kept seeing this on my recommended books on B&N but because I'm such a 'judge a book by it's cover' kind of girl, I've been avoiding it. After watching that trailer though, I WILL read it. As soon as I finish Something Borrowed :) Thanks!

    Yes, yes, you should listen to me! I know what I'm talking about, particularly with all that zombie crap. SO GOOD. :)
