SUZANNE, WHEN I CATCH YOU, SUZANNE!! 
Truly no words just LOTS of A7As were said (Im Egyptian okay that's how we show emotion) and yes I cried like alot, I am not ashamed.
But really I saw the movies before I decided to read the books and the books are so layered that you have to take a moment to think about everything that's happening and Oh my God the ending?!?! She had no business?!?!

“You could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him, you know,” 

Peeta, OH PEETA, I love him so much, you don't understand, he's such a loyal, faithful, amazing person.
The way he puts the no shit mask once the quell was announced and drags Katniss and haymitch out of the self pity hole they threw themselves into
, the way he was SO ready to give up his life for her and consistently reminded her of her importance and
NEVER tried to push anything out of her unlike a person we know (cough*gale*cough)
but really the love they have for eachother (even if Katniss didn't realise it yet) is so powerful that she was ready to kill everyone in a heartbeat if that meant saving his life and keeping him safe!!! Agh!!

"no one really needs me" he says
"I do," I say "I need you"

CUT THE CAMERAS??? HELLO??? AND SHE HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY
"GABE IS MINE AND I AM HIS"
 NONSENSE LIKE EW, don't even get me started on that! (It just feels like incest I don't like to talk about it)


(I also giggled every time Johanna or finnick were mentioned, leave me alone okay)

And really I could go forever talking about the depths of these books and the hidden massages in it (so sorry to my friends that had to endure 2 hours of book talk) because it's so interesting esp in the lights of recent events ans everything currently going around in the world (keep them in your prayers please) and knowing she was writing these books based on the iraq war takes it to a whole new level that I find really interesting to explore and think about!
