A steamy autobiographical account comes to readers as J.M. Valente announces the release of The Time of My Lives, his memoir published through Xlibris. Valente tells the story of his “lives” in a gentle-mannered yet surprisingly riveting narrative on his awkward beginnings, early awakenings, and the various endings in his fast-paced life.
Valente got an awkward start in life, having been diagnosed with polio at the tender age of three. He spent a year and a half of his early life in the hospital. While he did eventually learn to walk, he had to wear leg braces a la Forrest Gump. However, the real page-turning experience for readers begins when Valente discusses his early initiation with the girls, losing his virginity at only thirteen and engaging in booty calls beginning at fourteen. Throughout the memoir, he would continue to divulge juicy details on his sex and romantic life.
However, Valente applies a well-placed pause on that salacious topic as he inserts a somber discussion about family life and their slow loss of his only brother to drugs that eventually got him killed in a car accident. Ultimately, Valente’s quiet yet sincere storytelling renews readers’ attention page after page, keeping them glued with a clever mix of persuasion, enticement, and brave honesty.
As well, ‘The Time of My Lives’ includes songs that fittingly prolong the mood of each chapter or section, which creates the
atmosphere that is often found in films.
