Hi, I finally finished reading Alex and Eliza, by Melissa de la Cruz, and I LOVED IT! If you’re looking for a cute, romantic, short read, then this is the book for you! In short, this is a story about Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schulyer. The book is a historical, fictional representation of the way they met, how they fell in love, and eventually married. Some details included are true, like the way Eliza wore a poem Alex wrote her in a locket around her neck. Personally, I love historical novels, because they allow you to jump to a time period that has actually occurred, unlike futuristic novels. I have read novels based in this time (late 1700s), but they were in the point of view of slaves. I enjoyed reading them, and this book was a nice way to see the perspective from the other way around, even though the Schuylers were not slave holders. This book was full of drama, action, romance, and even a bit of mystery. And guess what? There’s another book, called Love and War! And a third one is coming out next spring. I have just started reading the second book, so stay tuned to hear about it!
