Preeti shenoy make us a silent walk in Ankita's Life. It is filled with pain only pain. But when we listen to the pain of others, It will automatically reduce ours, Same apply here.
Characters:
Parul and Jhanki came as friends of Ankita. Though they come for most of the story, presence of those characters doesn't create any significant impact. Then freedy come as ex boy friend come boy friend of parul.
Apart from this all the remaining characters in Life is what you make it give a reappearance here also. Now you could sense the reason for those problems. But the most important character next to Ankita in this story is Mrs Hayden. She came as a teacher to Ankita. She helps Ankita to fix her broken pieces of Life. How? read the book, you will know it.
In this Sequel Preeti Shenoy create a big deal with her deadly detailing. The way she narrates the story help us to really feel the pain of Ankita. It create that connection with characters which is needed for a good story.
Another important thing in this Novel is Ankita's Life lessons. When Ankita face unbearable pain or when she encounter unavoidable problem or when she realise something important, she write what she inferred from that, in a Note Book. Life's Lessons is the name she gave it to Note book.
Throughout the story she wrote exactly Ten notes. Believe me everyone is inspiring. Preeti shenoy perfectly convey what she wanted to tell us through these notes. This thing make this book as not only a story something more than that. It is a kind of solution to our problems. It slape us hardly with thing called reality. It will definitely create a small change within all of us.
Recommended or Not?
Most of the story deals with Bipolar Disorder and its evil effect. It gives me a feel that slightly it was over spoken. When we began deeply connected with story we start to feel some negativity whenever something bad happen in story. That thing is happening here.
Apart from that, Narration of this story is better than Life is what you make it. Things like Life's Lesson makes it even more interesting. But Author focuses only on what she want or what she wanted us to focus. She left plenty of things dangling in air just like that. Like what happen to Ankita's friends. What happen to her career. It all abruptly stop with the personal life of Ankita. May be she thought of writing a next sequel to Ankita's Life. But it gives a feeling of incomplete.
I recommend you this book provided if you already read Life is what you make it and Liked it. But if you not read the prequel it won't sound appealing to you. Since it is a continuation you won't know full story.
Happy Sunday!!! bye...
