"Better Than Espresso" by Julie Pearson is a heartwarming and inspiring book! It hooked me the moment i read the first few paragraphs, Pearson has a friendly and approachable style of writing. The 30 motivations she shares are encouraging, uplifting, inspiring, and just what you need to hear. I loved how she opened up about her own struggles and how she doubted herself from time to time, which felt so real. What really resonated with me was her emphasis on trusting God's plan, even when things don't make sense. Another aspect I enjoyed were the daily devotions they take less than a minute to read, but were so full of hope and optimism. I appreciated how Pearson uses biblical insights to help the reader deal with challenges in life. I also like the fact that the book reads like a warm conversation with a friend relatable and engaging, and showcased how I was not alone in my struggle. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a faith-filled boost of inspiration and encouragement.
