Such an interesting read on a potential scenario for the children of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. The two fathers have so much history and information we’ve come to learn in the past few years but we know so little about their children, though I’m sure it would be very interesting and intriguing, with the houses they grew up in.

Love, Theodosia painted a brilliant picture of love forbidden because of family and political animosity. In a time where politics was cut throat (not that it often isn’t nowadays, just on different levels), these two decided forgiveness and love could cross over ambition and bitterness.

The beginning was a little wordy for me and for a few chapters was a little hard to get into but after that you got pulled in, rooting for both Theodosia and Phillip and dreading what you knew historically was going to eventually happen. It was so difficult to watch their choices when you knew if they just decided otherwise, their fates would have been so different.

The author also paints a very vivid and compelling picture of Aaron Burr, initially making him seem not all that bad, until you realize how his behavior in being manipulative, obsessively ambitious, and self-seeking came to light.

I enjoyed the book and an alternate filling-in-the-gaps story of these two characters and the inspiring story of love and forgiveness they painted.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
