life is what you make it preeti shenoy review

She's beautiful, she's talented and she knows it. Preeti Shenoy's second book, a full length fiction called 'Life is what you make it' is the story of Ankita Sharma, a young girl (my age in fact!) from a middle class Indian family. I have been through the highs and lows of bipolar disorder today. Participate now to get free books! Thank you BlogAdda for sending me this book for review. This review is a part of the Book Reviews Program at. 100 (Available at discounted rates online – Flipkart, Infibeam) Well, it definitely deserves to be one! Overall, a very interesting read and a book which I surely recommend. As per author’s one the tweets, this book has been declared as national bestseller now. From words to the plot, everything held my attention from start to end. There were moments when I got so engrossed with Ankita’s pain that I actually ended up googling “bipolar disorder” in order to understand this disease better. Be it the joy or fun of Ankita or her strife to regain her life, almost every aspect has been presented in a simple yet gripping way. More than anything else, I liked the narration of this story. But this book is much more than just another love story. I assumed it to be like most of these urban English fiction these days i.e., simple love story with general highs and lows of life. Reason for expecting it to be a general read was mainly the sentence on the cover of the book – 'A story of love, hope and how determination can overcome destiny'. Personally speaking, I really loved the book and it fared far better than I expected it to be. What seems to be an easy, breezy read in the beginning actually turns out to be an intense and captivating story by the end. The second half of the book very sensitively deals with her anger, fear, pain and her struggle to overcome the odds of her life. Ankita’s life turns topsy-turvy when she is diagnosed with a mental illness. Life is going good till she realizes that God has made some other plans for her. The book starts with her first exposure to college life, her long distance love relationship, her changing personality in an all girls’ college, her encounter with new friends and relationship swings like most of the girls of her age. So, here goes just the brief summary of what this book is all about – It’s is the story of a young gal Ankita Sharma who is confident, smart, ambitious and is moving ahead in her life in the desired direction.

As I do with my reviews, I don’t prefer to reveal much of the story or scenes from any book / movie in the interest who are yet to read / watch it.
