The Hamilton Affair by Elizabeth Cobbs

2.0

This is one of those books where the history is so interesting that what I really want is to read the Chernow biography or other nonfiction. I wasn't super into this- in the beginning, I was flipping back and forth to try to figure out the chronology and why the dates were jumping weirdly with the points of view; as the book went on, I found alot fascinating, but not enough for me to really enjoy the book. The writing style was not my favorite, and there was a scene with Alexander Hamilton sticking his tongue in between his wife's toes that grossed me out, but that's more of my problem, probably. However! The book club REALLY enjoyed this, so if you're looking for a title that a group can talk about it, this wasn't a bad pick.
