Assouline Costa Rica Vida

I was pleasantly surprised by how the July release date worked out perfectly for my summer reading list—the pages have a nice weight and the photos are so vivid they make me feel like I'm already there. The hardcover feels durable enough to toss in my bag without worry.

The hardcover binding feels really premium, and the photos inside made me want to book a flight immediately. I've been reading a chapter each night and it’s the perfect escape from my routine.

I flipped through it on a lazy Sunday and the hardcover binding held up beautifully despite all the page-turning. The photography of Costa Rica’s landscapes is so vivid it honestly felt like a mini escape, and the upcoming release date didn’t bother me since I pre-ordered.
