chapter 9 gave insight into the Adams-Jefferson administration. very tumultuously to say the least 💔 onwards to ch 10 🥸🐎

just finished chapter 8. saddened by my change in opinion of Jefferson as further insight by McCullough had demonstrated to me his faults in character. on the contrary, i am more and more impressed by Adams’ virtue and strength of character. This adherence to virtue excites me for the presidency that is to come 🐶🇺🇸🌅😇🐎

just finished part 2! i loved diving into Jefferson and Adams’ relationship, (my old fave and new were besties!!!) the descriptions of france continued to be beautiful and i was in awe of Adam’s’ tenacity and sacrifice for his country in Holland, France, and GB. filled with so much reverence for king!!

Adam’s finds himself in Holland after being in Paris for the second time. the descriptions of France are beautifully narrated. McCollough also appropriately emphasizes the ardent passions of Adam’s’ heart, demonstrating the urgency which Adam’s conducted himself with!

thoroughly enjoying!! it’s an immersive and engaging read, although i hesitate to pick it up every time i do i can’t put it down!! i’m having so much fun learning about adams’ passionate yet gracious nature. i like that all facets of his personality are described, not just the admirable ones. also enjoying learning about his detailed role within the Continental Congress 🇺🇸😇🙏
