    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.

    The outfit which I regularly wore is my black color night pant which I have purchased it from IKEA from Hyderabad. I wore more often due to the comfortability and the flexibility of its track pant and its so luxurious and comfortable while to have a nap at night and nevertheless the price is not too high similarly as compared to our normal brands and normal clothing. The most I admire the wearing this track pant most is because it was gifted by my mother she gifted this on my last birthday on 29th April and the quality is really high and the fabric used in making of track pant is really awesome and I enjoy wearing in it and its really look fashionable and it does not look odd in people but everyone notice that I am wearing a branded pant and somehow people have asked me about where did I purchase this pant and really this pant is I can say its best.
