I’d definitely recommend this novel to people who enjoy reading sappy love stories or any Hamilton fan.Their romance shaped a nation. With an overall experience, this was a lovely book. Yet, the only thing I’d only have to change is adding just a few more scenes of Alex and Eliza on dates. I really wouldn’t change much about this novel. Meaning that both Alexander and Eliza must find a way to get back together. Schuyler sent that letter, Eliza had to be with Livingston since Alex is penniless. The major conflict of this novel was Henry getting in the way of Eliza and Alexander being together. For that, she is my favorite character of the novel, because of her personality. She was very strong and persevered through obstacles that held her back from Alexander. He was only a snobby man that was rude to Eliza the time they were together. The antagonist of this novel was Henry Livingston. Besides those sections, everything else was perfectly paced in my experience.
While reading this book, I’ll admit that there were only a few parts that did drag on for a bit too long. The main point of views of this book are usually Eliza’s or Alex’s, but there will be some sections where third person omniscient is seen. Their lives will change forever, starting from meeting in that ball. Even though at first Eliza isn’t intentionally trying to find love, she finds it in the most unexpected place. The two meet in a ball, and from there on they start seeing each other more and more. The novel is about two young adults, Alexander and Elizabeth, living in the 18th century. In short, it's a horrible book, don't read it.Īlex & Eliza, written by Melissa De La Cruz is a historical fiction/romance novel. The biggest objecting is Henry Livingston trying to rape Eliza.
Language that was most definitely not used in the 18th century was present. Character wear revealing outfits, dirty jokes are made. And most of all, Henry Livingston and Eliza were never a thing! Many other significant details are wrong. Peggy and Angelica never went to Morristown. Stephen Van Rensselaer didn't take interest in Peggy till many years latter. It mentions nothing about love letters or Hamilton's trip to France. The book says nothing about the Kitty Livingston and Hamilton as a couple or any of the other girls he got with. Angelica was already married when the ball happened. The dates were all wrong, Angelica was married to John CARTER and it didn't come out till later that his real name was John Church. The author obviously didn't read any sources or do any research on ANYTHING. I can't speak very highly of this book, but I'll speak frankly: it was horrible.
