The Help by Kathryn Stockett
5.0
emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The Help is one of my reread every year. I remember reading it when I was younger and loved the character development. This book is a button-pushing story. I though, at my first read years ago, that this book was based on a true story. It's not. But the way the characters are painted (not perfect, flawed, lovable all together, brave) and the way the story is written can be linked to any and every events and life stories of racism, white saviourism and privileges we heard from History.
