I really loved this book. I watched the movie a few months ago, and as soon as I found out it was a book I knew I had to read it. Although I loved the movie, it was really confusing with the implication that Idgie and Ninny were the same person, so I appreciated that the book acknowledged that they were two different people. I loved all of the characters and the author painted the atmosphere of Whistle Stop so well that I felt nostalgia for a place I have never been to in a time I never lived through. I also loved the commentary on growing old, and how Evelyn realized the world was moving on, and she wasn't ready for it. There are countless books about a teen's struggles and it was so refreshing to see a book about a woman about to hit 50, and her struggles with life. Even though I am still a teenager, I found Evelyn to be really relatable and such a good main character. On top of all of that, there were so many lines in this book that made me laugh out loud. I don't think I even realized how much I loved this book until I finished it, but I know I won't be forgetting this book for a long time!
