Lucky 7 explores the relationship the author shares with 7 very different women. Within each journey, the author learns a lesson about love, friendship, loss and hope from different points of view of these fascinating and earnest women. Lucky 7 will leave the reader re-examining the relationships they share with women from childhood to 'a certain age', the result of which is a renewed feeling of 'cherish'. EXTRAORDINARY! I was touched, moved and inspired not only by the lives of these amazing characters but by Robert Montagnese's lyrical and efficient expression of love for them all. I absolutely loved this book. It was pure poetry. What a beautiful way to honor these women. This respected former advertising and fashion executive turned author reaches beyond workaday creativity with Lucky 7 a subtle literary collection of small-frame classy tributes to women on pedestals. The lost art of the indirect voice is applied to this cycle and the author appears to be influenced by the Raymond Carver fallacy: almost nothing happens = artful literature. -Todd Mercer, Forward Reviews
