pickThis book was everything that it promised and more. Not once did it lull for me and I found myself wanting to read it more that sleeping!
jvillafuerte1 #UCFSSEALEXANDELIZA I LOVED this book! When the semester is over I plan to read the other 2 books in the series that follow this one. I really want to see the play Hamilton now as well. Escaping into the witty banter and well described late 1770's time period of the revolutionary war has been a treat. The Georgian period etiquette was fun to experience through the different characters in the book. 4y
jvillafuerte1 #UCFSSEALEXANDELIZA I connect more to Eliza the most myself with her practical attitude and simple nature that loves to be outside, but loved the description of what foods were served at parties based on access, the styles coming from Europe, and the fabrics that made the extravagant clothes. The rich vocabulary made me relish the historical literature connections with words like plebeian, paramour, and perry. (edited) 4y
jvillafuerte1 #UCFSSEALEXANDELIZA This was an epic love story indeed where two people love each other for who they are and the gifts they have been given to use through a time of war and change. (edited) 4y
katiekeough #UCFSSALEXANDELIZA WOW!!! I loved this book! Admittedly, I was a little skeptical of the book before I started to read it. But now, I am positive that I will be finishing the series. I loved how Eliza's character was so independent and she seemed to make so many sacrifices for the sake of her family, even if it was at her own expense. However, I think my favorite part was Alex's heroism toward the end the end to defend Eliza from Henry. 4y
