There are very few books I don't give the author a chance to pick up the pace on. I certainly can't find another one based on ratings and reviews because this one had such a high rating. This is NOT how adults should act and if some do, shame on them! I found it extremely juvenile and over the top! The main characters inner thoughts just went on and on and on and on! This is my first book by this author and I am not too sure I will try another one. I am thinking to myself why am I listening to this s.? The "banter" or "love tension" between these 2 brings me back to my teenage years.

Much like his play’s inspiration, Alexander Hamilton, Miranda’s been thinking a lot about legacy. Of course, as a dad of two children under five years old, the playwright had his children on his mind, and he was thinking of their future. Oprah brought Miranda, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert, Oscar-nominated director Jordan Peele, actress Yara Shahidi, The Daily Show host Trevor Noah and actress Salma Hayeck there for the latest edition of her live series, Supersoul Conversations. “It’s the only thing I’m leaving the house for,” Miranda said as he sat with the talk-show icon on the famed Apollo Theater stage in Harlem, New York. ![]() With a new baby, he was certain that he’d be out of the office for at least two months.

They were handed to them on the down-low by Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, who slipped in the row behind them in the Resch bowl seats with seemingly nobody noticing.
