I love the author's ability to make you so easily love and hate the characters you need to love and hate. I also think in the hands of a lesser writer, a lot of parts of this book could have been so frustrating to read, but something like the fact that I had no clue what Peeta was thinking the entire games

only to be revealed at the end

is a storyline that commonly makes me roll my eyes, but I found myself so enraptured in the mystery of it all. And when Katniss is grappling with new romantic emotions, it feels so real how there's no good answer for her (at least for now?).
I will say some parts of this book were, grammatically, weirdly phrased to me? But that's just a nitpick. I also forgot that this was one of the first popularized YA dystopia novels, so I was laughing at the novel in the beginning as it rapid-fire made up new words this society uses which I know is a silly dystopia novel trope. Luckily, beyond the first few chapters, this aspect didn't bother me to greatly.
