Rereading this series after having read it when I was 12-13 and reflecting on the themes I missed when reading it then. It's so odd to me that my friends and I focused on the romance in the book rather than the contents itself. The Hunger Games definitely holds up to the test of time and I'm looking to read some social/political commentary alongside the series.

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
