How sweet it is to die for one's fatherland, or "Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori," as said in the famous Latin poem by Wilfred Owen. Eponine, Courfeyrac, and Enjolras, three modern day teenagers who know little to nothing about war, find themselves caught up in a heart-wrenching battle of love, tears, and pain during their senior year of high school. Courfeyrac, a sweet, sensitive boy whose best friends happen to be the geniuses of the school, often feels overshadowed by Enjolras' good-looks and intellect. However, he finds solace in his good friend Eponine, whom he has secretly loved since the day he laid eyes upon her. Enjolras, an intelligent young man who yearns to join the army and die for his country, suddenly begins to lose focus on school when he realizes that he, too, has become taken with Eponine. What these boys do not know is that Eponine harbors a few secrets of her own, and her life is about to become more complicated than anyone could possibly have imagined. All three of them will have to learn the bittersweet taste that war and fighting bring, and soon they will all be called to make difficult choices and sacrifices. Will they give up on the battle of love? Or will they all learn how sweet it really is?

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
