Congratulations, The Best Is Over! by R. Eric Thomas

5.0

It’s safe to say that whatever R. Eric Thomas writes, I’m going to read. I can always count on laughs while being educated and seen all at the same time. I appreciate his humility and vulnerability because while I couldn’t and won’t ever related to all his stories, it kept me very engaged. I felt as if I was catching up with an old friend who I hadn’t seen in a while.

I do have one issue with this book though…  It was too short! I could have used so much more.

Between laughing at the frogs in his pond to having the same thoughts during and about the pandemic, I went on the best kind of rollercoaster. Thomas’ way of storytelling is a superpower. While some stories were very powerful and emotional, no matter the content, I was always looking forward to picking back up the stories as I was unable to finish in one sitting. 

If able, I highly recommend the audiobook!

Big thank you to PRH Audio for the gifted copy!
