Review:

Life is what you make it , Situations are not defined, It’s just how you take it.

It’s you by Ekta Ahuja is a collection of poems about discovering ourselves, not giving up and keeping our spirits high in different situations. Its a sweet, little book filled with positivity and kindness.

The author covered various aspects like moving on, being positive, following your heart, never giving up, empathy and most importantly ‘your’ role in all of them beautifully. Each poem has it’s own depth, teaching the reader an important lesson for life.

The writing style is simple and easy. The author added images for each poem which looked good, but it could have been done more interestingly. The author conveys an important message through her poems, which I liked the most. I liked how one can easily connect to all her poems. She beautifully described simple moments.

How we can tackle every situation when we change our minds when we accept and decide.
My favourite poems from the book are Power of thoughts, Life in every moment, Just be and Move on. Few poems will make you smile while few poems will make you feel proud. It’s a blend of various emotions expressed delightfully.

Overall, It’s a simple and a light read.
