Re: Books you're not "supposed" to love but do

For me, it was The Help. I loved The Help, although the ebonics was a hard pill to swallow. I thought the white character was supposed to be a moron anyway... a well-meaning moron, but a moron. I read it for the black characters, not Skeeter. And I loved it for the same reasons.

Oh god the Help...the heart was real I think but it was cringey at best and racist at worst. And also...a story about how tough and important it was to be an educated, rich white girl in Tennessee in the early days of the civil rights movement.

AYRT - I pretty much rolled my eyes through that part, so that might have been why I liked it. Or I just didn't realize how problematic it was.

I also think I might have sympathized less with the white character more than maybe we were supposed to? I thought we were supposed to find her annoying.
