In context

When I recommend something, I back it with confidence. I'll say, 'I'd recommend that series — you won't regret it.' If they hesitate, I add, 'Honestly, it's worth every minute,' and 'Trust me on this.' A confident recommendation, plus one good reason, usually convinces people. I only recommend things I really love, so my friends trust my picks. What would you recommend to me right now?
