I bought this book and saw the reviews. I thought I would try it anyway and form my own opinion. After two chapters, I was appalled. I found at least three comments that made me believe the main character is prejudice, not just against people of a different race, but anyone who is different. And, that made her extremely unlikable. And, one of the goals of writing these novels is for the reader to 'befriend' the character. If we (or me, as in this case) don't like her, why would we want to read her story? Setting this story in the South is not an excuse to use prejudice remarks. It's a sad reminder that people can still hate someone else for no reason. I couldn't give this 0 stars, but I really wanted to.
