Paperback Writers Anthology
Fidelity By:
Jennifer and Morgan Locklear

First, I should tell you that Paperback Writers is one of my favorite songs. I was singing it in my head the entire time I was reading.
I read Fidelity, which is only one of the short stories in the anthology. The story centers around a pair of lovers literally separated by the Berlin Wall. Many accounts say show more that this wall seemed to construct itself overnight. And, whichever side you were on, regardless of where your family, etc. were, you stayed there. Two young lovers endure this separation. Their story is broken into sections, each with a Beatles song as the title. It's a clever and unique idea that totally works. With a bit of luck, these two find ways to be together, but it's extremely dangerous. If you get caught, you die. I feel for these characters. Our heroine really got a bad deal when the wall went up. She lost everyone and gained something unexpected. Such a difficult, exhausting and lonely situation! The guy she loves has it slightly better, but he takes the huge risk of crossing over by nefarious avenues to visit her. The feeling of paranoia is breathing down his neck constantly. I was on the edge of my seat reading this story, waiting for the bad guys to show up. Did the lovers escape? Were they captured? I offer no spoilers. Read this fantastic story for yourself and find out! I'm excited to read the rest of the anthology because I loved Fidelity. It's captivating with all the feels. show less

Wow, I absolutely love these characters and I love the way the author intertwined the paralleled father/daughter relationships throughout the story. It was also nice to read the story, as told from the guys perspective. Can’t wait for the next one!

This is quite an interesting anthology with eleven different stories all tied by the year 1972. It is very original and refreshing to read, you need to experience it and it's one of the few anthologies you might want to read each and every one of the stories, you will find out why.

All the authors did a great work writing this anthology that will benefit VETSports, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing Veterans with continuous opportunities to reintegrate into their communities show more through sports, community service, events, and partnerships.

I have no words. This book tore my heart out and stomped on it. I teared up way too many times...these characters...omg....I cannot wait to see what path they take!
