The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck
4.0
I really enjoyed this latest book from Rachel Hauck! The story is told from two different time periods, modern day and the Revolutionary War. Chloe is an aspiring actress who has been typecast in dying roles. Determined to change her fate, she decides to try for the lead actress in a movie about the Revolutionary War based on the writer's own family. When she meets the writer at a wedding, she immediately feels drawn to him. Alongside this story, is the story of Esther and Hamilton. Esther is the daughter of a Royalist who is in love with Hamilton who is definitively on the side of the American rebels. Though they each love the other, Esther's father and circumstances of the War continue to pull them apart.
Both stories were very compelling and I found that I was anxious to hear each one. Sometimes when reading stories from two different time periods, I find that I'm liking one story over the other. With this book, I found that I enjoyed both stories equally. The characters were likable and relatable. The religious elements were really good without being preachy.
