Second book by Preeti Shenoy "Life
is What You Make it". It’s a Very Good book; twisted in love games, mixed
feelings and achieving after losing everything. Book is about the mental
illness called Bipolar Disorder; don't take it as a 'lunatic' or 'crazy', it is
just an ordinary illness which can be cured easily by love and care. Preeti has
tried to give a good inspiration to people by this book.

Story is about girl, Ankita, her life,
her problems and her feelings. It starts when her first love moves to IIT and
she takes St. Agnes. In cultural event she meets Abhishek, to whom she avoids
in some sense but kinda start liking him. The story goes at this pace until she
decides to move to Bombay for MBA braking Abhi's heart. The very next day he
was found dead in the lake and reports show that he was heavily drunk. She was
really set back by this but she moves on to Bombay for MBA. Everything was
going right until her parents founds love letters and burns them. That was the
stage when her mental illness starts shoeing its effects. After that it
contiues, doctors after docters, until she was admitted in mental hospital,
where she has another birth. It is good inspiring story especially the last 100
pages which are about her days in hospital.
The only drawback about the book is it
has a pretty boring start and also Ankita's early life narration was not that good,
but half of the book is very well narrated. In all very good book one should
read it.
