    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.

    There are multiple websites where I openly use in my daily routine, but one of them that I mostly use is LinkedIn, because I am graduating from university this year. So to find a job or explore the job options, I often use LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a beautiful platform to find a job, but I have to get information about new technologies and get connected with multiple professionals related to your field. The most common is to connect with HR, which helps you to find some job opportunities on their LinkedIn profile. However, some companies mention the requirements, what skills do you have to get this job, this is more helpful for me. I also like LinkedIn, I like to visit dockery.com or indy.com, which are also related to job exploration. Also, professional websites are also related to entertainment websites, which are Netflix, Amazon Prime.
