Life is What You Make it is a fictional best seller by author Preeti Shenoy. The book is the story of Ankita Sharma, a girl in her twenties. It focuses attention on a little known disease- Bipolar disorder.
The plot is set in the 80s and moves across two cities. Being a bright student, she got admitted into one of South India’s best colleges. What follows is a series of events, love affairs, pranks, and studies that is instrumental for every college going student. But Ankita’s life soon turns topsy-turvy when she is diagnosed with a mental illness- she develops Bipolar Disorder.

It is the story of Ankita’s illness and her fight with it. It’s a story of will power and establishes that even destiny can be overcome by determination. It’s a story of love and hope. “This is frightening, this world without words, this world of darkness and void. I don’t want to be here anymore. I want to make it stop.. To be trapped like this in one’s own body is a fate worse than death. With death, at least there is an end. Here, the suffering is endless.” The book opens in the mental hospital, so that the readers’ curiosity is aroused from page one. The conflict faced by her while choosing between career and love is common to every youngster; the story is very close to reality. The book illustrates the innocent ambitions of youngsters and how at one point, they seem so important that we are ready to give up everything to achieve them.
The writing style is simple yet thought provoking. The book is light and breezy in the beginning but becomes more intense and captivating towards the end. It also gives readers an insight on bipolar disorder, which is not a very well known disease.

All in all, Preeti Shenoy has worked wonders with this book! She has woven a beautiful and emotional story. She has carefully portrayed the emotions of people who are mentally affected and society’s behaviour towards them.

It’s a simple read, but still very moving and inspiring. At the end of the story, you will surely feel positive vibes. Go get it.
