The Underground Railroad

3.5 stars–I hyped this book in my mind. And don't get me wrong. There is beautiful writing in this book. There are heartbreaking scenes. The best parts for me were not the actual story parts. Cora's tale is horrific. But the parts in which she makes observations about her life as a black woman, her experience, the parts that aren't strictly related to the plot–those are the gorgeous parts.

I have not quite gotten over Lovey either.
