Straight up, Fingerpicking Beatles taught me more about my own family than I wanted to know. Fred Sokolow tells a story about three sisters inheriting a falling-apart lake house, and the scene where they find their mother's hidden letters in a tackle box is one of the best I've read this year. The pacing is uneven, with a lazy stretch in the middle. Who this is for: readers who love sibling dynamics and old secrets. Who should pass: anybody who prefers clean, tidy resolutions.
This one hits different if you've ever felt like the only person who missed the memo. Fingerpicking Beatles is awkward, funny, and a little painful in the right way, and Fred Sokolow doesn't hold your hand once. Some readers will hate that. Perfect for folks who like their stories rough around the edges, a tough sell for anyone who wants comfort.
