IT'S THE SAME STORY AS THE HELP.

Hillary Faye is Hilly Holbrook. Skeeter is Mary. Both have reluctant romances. Both are rebelling against social norms, realizing what's going on around them is wrong. Mother is worried, concerned, controlling. Plus Hillary Faye gets a pimple in the end, and Hilly Holbrook gets a cold sore. And they both get karmic retribution.
