Review of The In-Between
[Following is a volunteer review of "The In-Between" by Christian Espinosa.]
A nonfiction book, The In-Between, is written by Christian Espinosa. To live intentionally in the micro-moments and cherish the in-between, read this book. According to the writer, life is made up of small moments that can be experienced by living in the interim. These are the times when life isn't crashing into a major goal that he frequently missed because he was moving too quickly toward his chosen path. According to the author, his attention was always drawn to the next big thing to happen, such as starting a business or climbing a mountain. The author hadn't given the little moments of life between the macros or micro-moments much thought. It was as though he had always existed in a bubble of macro-moment. The author's ambition to paint a clear image of who he wanted to be and how he wanted to live his life was sparked by the vehicle accident that happened directly in front of him and his wife, Venessa. The author describes his experiences, which included many tears, cuts, and restless nights, in addition to making him doubt his worth to the people who mattered most. Certain regrets don't come over you all at once, according to the author. They creep into your life in odd places, like at night or during lengthy car rides, and eventually, they become a constant. Those, according to Christian, are the worst regrets of all.
Throughout the book, the author uses reflective questions to draw the reader into the discussion and keep them interested. The reader's curiosity is piqued, and they are forced to consider the tasks at hand by the questions. The book's authenticity and the fact that the author based it on his own experiences—experiences that brought him to this point—are two other things I find appealing. In addition to providing examples of what worked and what didn't, the book also teaches the reader how to learn from his pain and humiliation, as well as his surprise assessment and happiness. As a friend, professional colleague, grandchild, and lover, the author has also shared instances and lessons that have benefited him. The book can be easily picked up at any time to read because the author writes in an easy-to-understand style. I discovered that living life in between and pursuing your aspirations are equally vital.
There was nothing I disliked about the book. The book is informative and fun to read. There were a few typographical errors I encountered while reading the book.
I would still rate the book 5 out of 5 stars even if I ran into a double-spacing error while reading because it did not make it difficult for me to read.
Young adults and adults who enjoy nonfiction books with the themes of love, family, finding a purpose in life, determination, and professionalism will find great enjoyment in this book.
