Alex & Eliza by Melissa de la Cruz

4.0

Last night I finished listening to Alex and Eliza by Melissa De La Cruz via Libby audiobook. Alex and Eliza is a historical fiction novel about how Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler met and fell in love. I think it was an interesting novel and definitely gave me Jane Austen feels the way Melissa wrote it. It’s part one of a 3 part series of novels so I’m going to listen to all 3. I really love the way Alex loves Eliza in this book, he respects her wishes and wants her to grow as a person and not just be a wife and mother of his children unlike the other men that were trying to get Eliza’s attention. Also, it makes me so thankful that it doesn’t matter as much now a days what family you are from or how much money you have when you marry someone. I give this novel 4 stars and I recommend it to anyone who loves a historical fiction novel with a love story.
