i pre-ordered this book the minute i heard that it was about alexander hamilton and elizabeth schuyler.

i fell in love with the way eliza and alex fell in love. i loved that it took time for eliza to see him for who he really was and to appreciate him. i loved getting to know more about the schyuler family and especially dear eliza, she was always my favorite. in the first few chapters it took me a while to get i to it, but eventually, at the point they finally realized their feelings, i couldn't stop reading.

Too ahistorical. Just frustrating to have so much about real people in history fictionalized

Historical fiction. Slow start, but I also watched Hamilton the Musical, so I kinda know the love sorry. However, I did enjoy the details specific to Eliza and Alex.

You can tell it was definitely inspired by the musical and it kind of assumes you’ve seen/listened to it. But it’s a cute feel good story.
