Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens

2.0

This was a selection for my local book club so I will disclose first that I typically am not a fan of your everyday run of the mill contemporary fiction, which is what this largely turned out to be. The blurb for this book mentions the Underground Railroad, so I was expecting to have a backstory here. It was nonexistent, which turned out to be the biggest disappointments for me as I was really looking forward to that aspect. The only mention of the Underground Railroad in the book was that the author lived in a town the was founded by refugees of the Underground Railroad. While reading it, I kept thinking that this would be the type of story that is turned into a cheesy Hallmark movie and the whole book gave me the feeling that I'd heard this story before, as in unoriginal subject matter. Just not my cup of tea.
