Review of Loving & Leaving
There are times we wish to go back in time and right our wrongs or do things in a better way and different from what we did, but we realize that it is already too late to do so. Jack Lucci talks about his addictions, lost love, and regrets in his book Loving & Leaving. His memoir details his life, the places he traveled while trying to run away from his addiction, his love affair, and others. He noticed that he was the kind of person who found it hard to be committed to a relationship, but that didn't stop him from falling in love. Jack was working at a restaurant called Olive. He dropped his job and sold his car to travel to Italy with the aim of running away from his addiction. How was Jack's life in Italy? And did he stop his addiction? Get a copy of this book and read it to learn more.
I enjoyed reading the part where he traveled to Italy, enrolled in David's school, and visited where his grandparents lived before immigrating to Pennsylvania. One phrase I held dear to my heart from this book was what Jack said: "Some things lost can never be regained, no matter the level of effort to retrieve them," which I agreed to. Furthermore, I got to understand that sometimes, if we try to set things right and make them work for the better and they don't, we should walk away from them in order not to end up getting hurt, as our peace of mind and health are most important.
I loved how the author detailed his story and the people he mingled with. I also loved how Jack lived his life to the fullest and how he felt remorseful for his wrongdoings. Furthermore, I loved that he was always ready to take responsibility for his actions and was always open to changes. The cover of this book was also captivating to me and seemed to convey meaning to me when I read the content of the book, which is another thing I also admired.
I didn't see anything to criticize about this book, as I loved reading it. In my process of reading, I came across just one error, which stipulates that this book was professionally edited. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because of all my likes given above.
I recommend this book to those who live with regrets based on their past, as they would learn from Jack's story.
