I LOVE Hamilton. Eliza Schuyler is truly my idol. Because of that, because I know who Eliza was and who Alexander was, this book was so difficult for me to read. I know it’s historical fiction but it just veered SO FAR from the real history that is well known that is became unrealistic.

A solid historical romance foiled by a shock-factor sexual violence storyline.

I love the story of Alexander Hamilton and Eliza. I loved the musical Hamilton. It was interesting to see a different perspective on their relationship. There were a few problems I had with the plot and the characters but nothing that took away from the overall story. I was kind of sad that Lafayette and Lauren’s were not in this book a lot. I was really looking forward to that characters but this story did focus on Alex and Eliza so it makes sense that they weren’t highlighted more in the book.
