    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.

    My current hobby is traveling. Actually, I love traveling so much because it gives you an experience of exploration about different parts of the world. You will get to know different people and you will know how they live their lives, how they differentiate from our livings, what languages do they speak. Traveling is actually quite interesting thing to do whenever someone gets leisure time or during the vacation one must prefer traveling. I would like to go to places which are serene and calm, which are not chaotic and crowded like the places like Maldives, beachy places near the shores of the seas, which gives you calm and winds all your worries and troubleness from the life and which gives you a refreshing break from the daily routine.
