    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.

    Even though I have used a lot of websites such as Misha, Flipkart, Shea, Tomato, my most favorite one is Shea. I recently discovered that app and I was a cloud man and I saw the amount of options available and even the price range which is affordable for even school going students to receive in a week's time, that was something which made me happy. So, I used to buy a lot of clothes but I have finally from Flipkart and it's okay. One good thing that I felt about it is that you can return the clothes with no cost within 2-3 days and even there is an option in their website which gives you extra points if you review with pictures or even without pictures is okay. These points can be added up and you can offer it by yourself. Another option that made me wonder in June is that

I have purchased these shirts in Bevakup website. So this Bevakup website is actually a website where you can purchase different kind of clothing. It's a clothing brand website but you will get many shirts, t-shirts, even shorts or anything you can purchase. I purchased 4 sets of clothes but I had to applause them for the quality of the clothes. It's really good and I really like wearing it. I have even decided that I would definitely purchase from them itself in the future. And also I would definitely recommend it to my family and my friends if they would like to purchase any clothing.

It is a well-known person to me, he is a social media influencer, his name is Srimanko Dharu, he is from South India. I more often choosing this cloths or this dresses by influencer by him. So I thought that why can't I order that type of cloths. So then I do order, I purchased items from that website and for the result is their quality, their quality is mad amazing, everyone should buy this cloths because it's a dead cheap products which was selling in low budget, the quality of products was very high. So I also tell about that situation to my friends, he also purchasing so many products in that website. I wear that product and I feel like a one cloud nine in the under the weather also. So I get up from that kind of situation also, but the don't thing I don't like in that website is the products was delaying, delaying, delaying. So that was the minus point of the website and the liking of that product is accepting orders early in the other website. So it is good.
