So confession time I only started reading this book because of Hamilton. I had attempted a few books by Melissa de la Cruz before but never finished any. That being said I was easily lured in by the cover and the idea of a nice light romantic read. 
 A few disclaimers: 
 -Anyone who has read the history of Alexander and Eliza knows that we know very little about their courtship. This is a book of fiction and de la Cruz openly talks about making up events to fill in some very large blanks. 
 -Another thing that I enjoyed was the fact that you could pick up this book Hamilton fan or not, I think it means more to Hamilton fans but it is not necessary to have seen or listened to the Broadway play nor know anything about the historic couple. It's completely enjoyable on its own. 
 Overall I think what I liked the most about this book was the Schuyler sisters for while Eliza is the main focus of the novel, her sisters Peggy and Angelica are two very important characters along side Alexander Hamilton. I loved the overall theme of sisterhood in this novel and how close they were with each other. I also loved de la Cruz writing. She was so descriptive with the fashion, architecture and the decor. I felt like I had walked straight back into time. 
 My only complaint was how the plot of the story was written, it had a very loose feel to it and I never understood if I was at the beginning, middle or the end of the story. 
 When I finished this book I didn't feel any of the usual sadness that the story was done. It never carried that much weight to it. It was a very light enjoyable read that I found myself smiling and laughing through. I don't know if I would re-read it (I'm a big re-reader) but I am defiantly glad that I did.
