5/18/2023 0 Comments Alex and eliza![]() ![]() I think one of my biggest complaints with Alex and Eliza is that it did not feel like historical fiction or even close to being historically accurate. I know many Hamilton fans really appreciate the musical’s originality, and even though Alex and Eliza is not related the musical, I think this book’s target audience will be disappointed with its unoriginal, slow-moving plot. Even though I’ve never seen the musical, I am not sure that this book’s target audience would connect well with the story in this book. With Hamilton’s recent popularity, it is not surprise that the trend seeped into young adult literature. Much to to her parent’s dismay, Elizabeth starts to fall for Alexander without a fortune or name. As a result, Elizabeth’s mother is determined to marry off her three daughters to wealthy, respectable men in order to preserve the family wealth and name. After Elizabeth’s father loses Saratoga, the family is on the brink of financial ruin. ![]() Alex and Eliza by Melissa De La Cruz focuses on the love story between Alexander Hamilton, a young colonel, and Elizabeth Schuyler, a daughter from one of America’s wealthiest families. ![]()
