They hope, though common sense may tell them not to, and sometimes America is worthy of that hope.” People from marginalized groups have always made their way by finding their place within their communities and holding tightly to the things most dear to them. No matter the time period, and no matter the obstacles placed before them. I would definitely recommend this to those that are looking for a short sapphic romance as well as those who are fans of Hamilton.įrom the author's note: “In writing this story I remembered that, above all, the story of America is one of a great multitude of individuals with so many things stacked against them who…lived. I really felt the connection between Mercy and Andromeda. She really took her time breaking down every wall that Mercy put up and.it was so beautiful.Īs always, the writing was poetic and so sensual. Andromeda was so confident, so passionate, and so caring. Mercy fought tooth and nail to deny her attraction to Andromeda, but of course that was impossible. It's so easy to close yourself off after you've had your heart broken by so many people, but Andromeda really illustrates that in doing that you often miss out on opportunities. I connected with Mercy, I've been her, I feel like I'm her right now. Watching Andromeda assist Mercy in opening up her heart and assisting her in reigniting her passion for writing was BEAUTIFUL. Our main characters do face issues and discrimination however, I loved that Cole took the opportunity to truly hone in on matters of the heart and how each character couldn't allow their past to dictate how they could possibly love each other. The most beautiful aspect of this book was that it wasn't focused on Black pain and trauma. Mercy works as a maid to Eliza Hamilton while Andromeda is present to provide Eliza with an account her grandfathers experience fighting in the same regiment as Hamilton.
They are definitely like night and day, but they truly are meant to be. But the true stars of this book are definitely our main characters Mercy and Andromeda. There were so many references that Hamilton fans will enjoy. I can't tell you how much my little Hamilton junkie heart enjoyed this novella. That Could Be Enough is a novella that focuses on a budding romance between Mercy and Andromeda who is actually the granddaughter of the main character in Be Not Afraid.
This was such a beautiful sapphic romance set against the backdrop of a post Revolutionary War America. Yessss THAT COULD BE ENOUGH.every time I read that title I sing that song from the musical.
