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.

Rereading this book with some friends to kick off the year - it's been a long time since I've read a book with such a loveable cast and genuinely cared about what happened to so many of the characters. Knowing what happens doesn't make any of the hard parts any easier. Worth the read, worth the reread!
