Life Is What You Make It: Book Review
I am not a keen lover of love stories, so I honestly haven’t read much of it. I read Life Is What You Make It, back in my college days and decided to write about it when I recently had a glance at it in a bookstore.
The author has very well explained every emotion a person experiences in various stages of life. Simple yet powerful writing will keep you connected.
I loved the way Amrita’s parents helped her to relive her life once again. The excellent storytelling and story presentation will keep you engrossed in between the lines of this book.
