I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES!! Peeta is so boyfriend and I just want to protect everlark with my heart and soul!!! Okay so there’s a lot of debate on when Katniss fell in love with Peeta online

but she IS in love with him when she “fakes it” in the interview saying when he didn’t have to be a threat she could be honest about how she felt. Her inner thoughts make it so obvious how much she cares for him, like deep deep love. Just my opinion. Also my heart hurts at the end because he thinks she faked it all and I just AHHH

  EVERLARKKKK

“Remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.”

“I can feel Peeta press his forehead into my temple and he asks, 'So now that you've got me, what are you going to do with me?'
I turn into him. 'Put you somewhere you can't get hurt.”

Going absolutely feral....

I don't remember why my twelve yearld old self decided not to read this book but my god... How good they are.
I loved the movies and I thought nows the time and I enjoyed every second of it
It's good, entertaining, keeps you on the edge but at the same time is light-paced, hurtful, and everybody knows I love a good unreliable narrator.
Can't wait to see more and more of them
