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.”

As about my third/fourth reread, this book never disappoints. Whoever saw just the movies doesn't know half the story... The way Katniss thinks and communicates with Haymitch, how the bonds get forged, what consequences come out of every sound of that canon and the aftermath of it all.

This is the third time that I read this book. The first two times were when it was released and now, ten(-ish) years later. I felt exactly the same and that was my favorite part about rereading this story.

Katniss is an amazing main character: a very strong female role model, selfless, sensitive... even her naiveness is very relatable. She was forced to grow fast and had a very hard life - losing her father and with a mother destroyed by grief she was the only one who could provide for her sister and from that point on Prim is the only reason why she wants to live.

I love this book because shows that love can be the force that changes lives, even in the most complete chaos and brutality the ones we love can make a difference between giving up and fight a little longer.
