    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Absolutely, I would like to go on a motorcycle road trip with my friends. We are three close friends and we are deciding to go on a road trip. We were deciding to go on a road trip from so long. Moreover, we never exactly went to any trip but we are planning this trip from past few years and hopefully, I think it will go out of the group chat very soon and we will go to this trip. The trip will be basically a road trip and we will go to Ladakh by road. Moreover, it will be a very pleasant experience to go to our favorite place. Ladakh is our favorite place to go and we really want to go there. The reason behind that is its beautiful serenity, the beautiful views it considers, the sense of calmness one can feel after going there. I see many reels, many videos that represent the beauty of Ladakh and I really want to experience that beauty and sense of calmness in myself. I want to spend time with my friends by going on a road trip and that would be a very precious time for all of us to spend some time with each other as we all are working now as adults. It will also show us the tremendous mountain views that we will get while going on a road trip.

    So from my young elementary school days, it was my dream to go in a bicycle to Manali which is so far from our city or our state. Manali is a place with cold climate and silly winter season always. So it is my dream place and dream destination to go. I would always prefer going alone to experience the mode of travelling in a solo way and I always prefer going in December time when there is much more icy climate and when the snow falls it might look so adorable and the ambience surrounding the atmosphere will be full of icy climate and I prefer to go in bicycle because it gives us more healthier than going in a car or train and also going in a bicycle provides less expensive than going in car or bike and I prefer going alone since my childhood and I always look forward to go more trips like this in bicycle. Thank you
