I like it. Definitely is more readable at small sizes than your previous cover.

Two things that stuck out. One is that the "L" is harder to see than the other letters. (However, I did take a screen cap of your image and shrunk it a little and it still reads as an L even at smaller sizes.)

The other is that there is something about the layout that makes me not see a pause in there with the ellipsis. Maybe it's because of the tight leading (the space between lines), or the size of the top and bottom lines which de-emphasize the transition. I'm reading it as "Life with no Breaks" rather than "Life... with no Breaks."

It's possible a little more leading between the first and second lines would fix that. (Or it's possible that it doesn't matter to you.)
