Aibileen and Minny are best friends in the novel. Skeeter and Hilly are also really good friends but their relationship has a lot of differences compared to Aibileen and Minny. Minny and Aibileen always stick up for eachother and would never do anything to sabotage one another whereas in Skeeter and Hilly's relationship, Hilly's actions always benefit herself.
Like best friends should, Aibileen and Minny talk every day and always help one another out any way they can. They understand eachother and are the people they are because of eachother. Minny helped Aibileen through Treelore's death and Aibileen helped Minny land a job after she was fired. When Skeeter and Hilly were in college together, Skeeter would always curl Hilly's hair every night. They meet and play bridge with Elizabeth and that's when the differences between these set of friends are noted. Before learning the background of Hilly and Skeeter , you wouldn't think they were friends when they met to play bridge. Skeeter had questioned Hilly's motives about the colored toilets and Hilly threatened her. Hilly said she would remove Skeeter from being the editor of the League. That's where Hilly's true motives show. Hilly doesn't respect what Skeeter has ever done for her because she is threating to take away the only thing Skeeter has. Aibileen and Minny have a much stronger connection and supportive of eachother. Skeeter and Hilly merely tolerate eachother.
