This is a book that you will think about long after you read. Well written and interesting. I would read more by this author.

First, I want to thank Netgalley, Kristin S. Kaufman and

What a fantastic book! It reminded me of a mix between “Chicken Soup for the Soul” meets a John Maxwell read. I LOVED the authors ability to tell a tale, keeping the reader captivated until the end of the story. Then sharing her perspective, life experience with the reader, to then wrap up by presenting the thought provoking questions at the end. Contemplation time of sorts. It was so well written, so heartwarming and overall a fantastic addition to anyone’s bookshelf. And.....the author had me at the end of chapter 1 when she when she wrapped with a quote from one of my favorites, Stephen King! Pretty much sold after that!

But in all seriousness, I recommend this book. Especially if you are looking for a kind, warm, sensitive read that allows you to enjoy a story, receive another’s perspective and then contemplate how they both mesh with yours.

I’m currently participating in an Asipiring Leadership program at my job and this book felt exactly like something we would enjoy as we grow within leadership positions. And, I was not surprised to read the author bio at the end of the book, to only discover Ms. Kaufman was a Certified Leadership Coach and held various leadership roles within her own career. Lulu is pretty cute as well! AND! The author love crystals / gems....so I’m pretty certain I was meant to connect to this book and now the author. Can’t wait to see what her next book will bring!



Loved it!

What a beautifully written and thought-provoking book! Kristin S. Kaufman ‘s conversational style is like that of a caring and wise friend, opening up about the lessons she has learned as she has traveled in life. Is This Seat Taken? No, I Saved it for You, is refreshing and insightful! The questions and the exercises provided at the back of the book compliment the narratives superbly.

A very thought-provoking book. I felt about the people in my own tribe. I have not read any books of her's other than this. I will now go buy the others.
Thanks, to NetGalley for the advance copy to review.
