Few Regrets
Amy and Bob recently turned sixty. It's time to turn the page and move forward to the next chapter of their lives, or as Bob calls it, Act Three. Amy secretly puts the house on the market and begins packing for a move to the mountains. Her plans are disrupted when Willy, Athletic Director at the University, asks Bob to shake off his rust to coach one last game - the Rose Bowl. It's been ten years since Bob walked the sidelines. He ignores warnings from Doc and reclaims the head coach role he excelled at. Tragedy strikes during the game causing Bob's buddies to reunite in a surprising meet-up, where they share successes and failures to a group of friends that hold each other accountable to speak truth, learn from each other and find the right yardstick to measure their lives.

Bob and his wife, Amy are ready for their third act but both are concocting their own version of what that will be. When tragedy strikes it will be the ultimate test of their marriage as they and their friends learn how to say goodbye. Grab your tissues you will need them. There are many lessons and great stories that you have come to expect from the other Bob books. Even though this one has an air of finality to it you can still enjoy it without having read the other two books. It will make you think, reminisce, laugh and cry and hopefully make you live every day with few regrets.

Few Regrets is the third book in the Coach Bob series by Rick McGee; a compelling, well-crafted story filled with life lessons. Amy and Bob just turned sixty and are looking forward to starting a new phase of their life. When Amy receives a text message from Willy, Athletic Director at the University, wanting them to meet in private, she gets goosebumps. But when Willy tells her that he's fired the coach and wants Bob to coach one Rose Bowl game, she is afraid he may take Bob away from her. But what is most troubling is the fact that Bob has been out of the scene for ten years. Bob accepts the offer, but a tragedy during the game has his friends coming together and the reunion morphs into an experience of learning, bonding, and exploring new paths.
While Few Regrets is an engaging and entertaining story, it is also an inspiring one, filled with lessons from veterans and people with a shared experience. The first thing that caught my attention is the beauty of the language and the way the drama is written. The story is told in the first-person and very skillfully, alternating between the viewpoints of the key characters. Rick McGee writes about football culture in a colorful way and fans of football will like to spend time with the characters. There are also lessons about life, growth, and purpose. The themes of football, love, friendship, failure, and success and how they affect people are deftly written. Few Regrets is spellbinding, engrossing, humorous, and enlightening, one of the stories I'd love to see as a movie.
