Alex and Eliza by Melissa de la CruzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Melissa de la Cruz nailed this historical fiction book about the love story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler and oh was there drama!!! Not only is the American Revolution just around the corner, but the 3 daughters of the famed Schuyler family are looking for husbands with money to marry. Their father has suffered some setbacks and the girls need to marry well to help their family. Enter Alexander Hamilton, who has no family, no title, no money -but he is famous as Colonel Hamilton integral aide to George Washington, who meets and falls for Eliza Schuyler. Eliza is so different from her 2 sisters- she wants to marry for love and does not care about money, clothes, or station but she desperately loves her family too. As the world conspires to keep Alex & Eliza apart, the reader falls in love with these 2 characters who detest slavery, help soldiers with uniforms, inoculate soldiers against small pox, care intensely about soldiers, their growing love for each other will have readers turning the pages, falling for this important part of our history and the epic love story too.
