Loved this book! Short stories about Susan’s life, and they are so beautifully written! She gives great advice and information about heart disease. Loved hearing the stories of her and her beloved husband. And the chapter where she lost him broke my heart. I watched All My Children my whole life and loved Erica Kane, it was nice getting to know Susan. Great book!

[Pat Hughes · Rating 4 out of 5]

I gave this book 4 stars basically because Susan Lucci is the most gracious person ever. In this book, like her first, she never says a bad word about any one! She appears to love everyone she’s ever met, saying kind words and ways that they’ve enriched her life. Her insights into grief, after losing her husband, were very comforting and informative. I would’ve loved to have just a little more from her, like details about her time on QVC and her relationship with Dennis Basso and other designers. That being said, the book is a very quick read, uplifting and great when you don’t have a lot of time but want a feel good moment.

This whole book can be summed up in three sentences:

My husband died.
I’m grateful for the life I’ve led.
I know random famous people and call them my friends.

I can’t and won’t give a memoir less than 5 I did love it and enjoyed hearing about her life. I enjoyed the pics and learned a lot about her. I’d watched All My Children some so I’d seen some shows. Anyhow it was good to hear more just about her.

I was very interested in reading Ms. Lucci's second book, La Lucci. When reading this title, there were a plethora of insightful gems that can be useful and reassuring to the reader, which they can incorporate into their own experiences while maneuvering through their journey of healing after the loss of a loved one.

Ms. Lucci is all about informing others, where they can benefit from hearing of her experience, in the hope that they will take it upon themselves to be their own advocate, when it comes to their health and wellness. She used her platform, to convey a salient message to the masses, which proved to be successful and gained traction since, due to the public's love and trust in her.

The book itself is an enjoyable read. The chapters throughout reiterated how important it is to reflect on where we've been and where we're heading. As well as, valuing those that surround us that had truly made the effort to be present and supportive during our greatest challenges. And not forgetting to reciprocate the same efforts when they're in need, themselves.

Cheers to La Lucci! She's proof that one must do what they have to, for the sake of moving forward and finding their own joy.

This was lovely, as much a tribute to being happy in a marriage as to dealing with the loss of a husband, with many great anectodes about Susan's life. I own but did not read her first book, but I went straight to it after this. :)

[Lori · Rating 2 out of 5]

Her first book was a lot more interesting. This one rehashed some of it, which I skimmed over, but was essentially a book about her dealing with grief and appreciating faith and friendships. Nothing interesting about AMC.
