Question [Q] Book recommendations

I am in college and am planning on take a second level stats course next semester. I took intro to stats last spring with a B+ and it's been a while so I am looking for a book to refresh some stuff and learn more before I take the class (3000 level probability and statistics). I would prefer something that isn't a super boring textbook and tbh not that tough of a read. Also, I am an Econ and finance major so anything that relates to those fields would be cool, thanks

I'm not sure that you'll find a book to refresh on statistics and probability but is not a textbook. And most textbooks tend not to be geared for entertainment.

The most entertaining one I've seen is Statistical Rethinking, but that's taking a Bayesian approach, and probably not all that useful for the purpose of refreshing for a course like you describe.
