Coming back and reading this story as an adult really puts a lot of things into perspective that I may not have realized reading it as a kid. It makes in even more heartbreaking. The author not only emerges you into the story but the underlying messages are so important.

(reread) i loooved this book, but i have some complicated feelings about it. i found tons of grammar/wording mistakes which (not to be anal) really irked me. but the characters were incredibly complex, which was so enjoyable to read about from katniss’ cynical pov. overall this was a really fun read that kept me engaged the whole time! it makes pretty fascinating commentary on human nature.
