Fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

3.5 I could definitely feel the Southern folklore style of storytelling in the novel. It reminded me a bit of some of Twain's writing, so it was fun to read. Honestly I was hoping for more connection to the characters, so more sadness when tragedy struck . . . I was affected more on the humorous side. It's quite funny in many places, but I really liked the structure of the book and Evelyn's story is inspiring for sure.
