It's a very emotional book. The emotion is not "lighthearted fun".

It was funnier than I thought it would be, I imagined it much more dry or serious. I was pretty sure I would like the book, but it honestly was better than I expected. Katniss is a very well written protagonist in my opinion, with clear motivations and an understandable thought process. Peeta is an amazingly unique character, somehow subverting expections without feeling out of place. The world is also obviously well thought out, but there isn't a lot of time wasted explaining unnecessary details which is also a plus in my book.

All in all  it's a really solid start to an iconic series.

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.”
