Alex and Eliza is Melissa's book on the famous musical Hamilton, now before I read this book, I knew absolutely nothing about Hamilton or it's history. But this doesn't matter when it comes to reading this book whatsoever. I enjoyed it just the same and now I actually want to see it, to see what the difference is between this book and the play. I've seen a lot on Goodreads to say that this book is absolutely nothing like the play. 

The book is about how Alex and Eliza actually met and the events up until they got married. Melissa wrote this book because she was inspired by the musical and her daughter actually wanted to know more about Alex and Eliza, so she did a lot of research about Hamilton and then therefore wrote this book which from what I've read it is its own book and not apart of the musical. It is done from two points of view, Alex's and Eliza's (obviously), in the third person. 

This was a quick read for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would like to know more about them, so I might look into more about Hamilton as some people are saying that this book is not historical accurate and that it doesn't include a lot of things because it is only about a part of their life, and I would like to form my own opinion on this part.

I liked reading about Eliza and Alex and all the other character's that were introduced including Eliza's sisters and aunt! I do recommend this book and this is definitely a book that I would reread one day, so wether or not you've seen Hamilton or don't know anything about it, this won't affect you reading this book at all.
