Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Thank you to Netgalley for the free arc!
It was so interesting reading about the life of Lin-Manuel MIranda! I did not know about childhood beforehand. It was super interesting to read about what influenced his different musicals and artistic endeavors. As a huge fan of Rent and Tic Tic Boom, it was very interesting to learn about how Jonathan Larson influenced him and Lin-Manuel became the director for the Tic Boom movie. I loved learning about how Hamilton was developed.

I will admit that I don't normally read biographical books but this was a nice change of pace!
It was really interesting to learn about LMM and all the stuff he's done and his journey, especially as he's in PJOTV s2 rn.
