The Hamilton Affair by Elizabeth Cobbs
4.0
This book is a fictionalized account of the life of Alexander and Eliza Hamilton, one that was pretty well crafted, in my opinion. I wondered if any format of the Hamiltons' story would engage me the way the Musical has for the last year and a half, and though this wasn't quite that significant for me, it was still an enjoyable read.
It probably helps that at every chapter or so, I was singing (or rapping, as it were) the song that correlates to the events that happened therein. My favorite moments, for my fellow Hamilton Nerds? Humming "The Room Where it Happened" at the start of the dinner, singing notes of "Helpless" when Eliza originally falls for Alexander, and hearing the low, throaty notes of the start of "Say No To This" when the illustrious Maria Reynolds appears on the scene.
Fun little read. Glad the hubs picked it up for me from the library!
