Depicting this alluring phase of life, Shreyasi Rhittika pens down the various journeys of a teenager in the li'l recitals of a teen's life in her compilation named, 18 Via Teen ~ BE YOURSELF and the essence of being on one's own and being what one is born to be is the best way to live one's teenage years.

The reason why these years help us make our identity is because in the end we realise that all we need to do is to be ourself and I certainly approve of this beautiful essence of the book.

It was a mystic journey as I experienced the series of emotions going up and down in my heart as I felt the hopes rising and falling, dilemmas happening, insecurities creeping in, restlessness smiling in my face as the characters felt them and sensitivity tickling me. So, the beauty of the book made me remember the last years of my teenage life and that was the best essence of the book.

All in all, it's a beauty with brains who has penned down the magic of teen years in the confined pages of this book, a must read. :)
