In this book we take a look at the early marriage and the stresses and strains that a young America put onto this couple and how they were truly deeply in love with one another. I, Eliza Hamilton introduced us to Eliza and provided her point of view on her marriage, life, and courtship to Alexander. Ron Chernov's Alexander Hamilton gave one a wonderful perspective into the life and the times of this great American forefather. I have read a few book about the Elizabeth and Alexander Hamilton.

My quick and simple overall: was pretty good but not as good as the first book and did have times that dragged a bit.

I don’t think I have ever went into a fiction book thinking. I don’t mind when historical fiction is not accurate to real history because if I wanted to learn the facts I’d read nonfiction to find out. I think I read somewhere that the author is taking creative liberties with the series so I’m hoping we can skip the infidelity. I mean we know Alexander Hamilton had what many view as the first sex scandal of a politician but will that be approached in this series? Because I don’t know how that would not tarnish the magic readers found in book one. I wonder if there will be a next book in which Maria Reynolds (yeah I’m a nerd 🤓) enters the picture. I think it was because fans are now moving away from the new love courting Alex and Eliza found in book one on to the more serious grownup stuff. It was nice to read the sequel but I was not into this one as much as the first book.
