The Love Note by Joanna Davidson Politano captures the innate desire by all to be accepted and loved by others.  Politano’s style of writing never disappoints.  Readers are treated to in-depth character development, historical accuracy, genuinely enjoyable characters, and mysteries to be solved.

Once opened, prepare to be swept away into the emotionally and socially complicated world of Willa Duvall.  Her character struggles with her desires and preconceived notions of the world and what it has to offer.  As the story develops, readers are bound to feel some connection to at least one character and his or her personal struggles. Not wanting to give away too much, suffice it to say that the way the love note affects each character is beautifully written.

One aspect of The Love Note which is especially appreciated is the fact that everything is not resolved in a two-day timeline.  Characters are given time and in some cases a lifetime to develop themselves and become who they want to be.  This is a thoroughly enjoyable read for those who enjoy reading about genuine love, intrigue, or historical fiction.
