Listened to this twice over the last year & feel like I could read again & still get a lot out of it. Very helpful as a parent of a teen & a tween.

Depressing as f. I didn’t like Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes at all, so I was a little worried how this story would go, but I have such a soft spot for Haymitch. What a story.

I really wanted to like this more after loving her previous thriller. This was just too slow-paced & sappy for me to really enjoy.

A very slow start / almost a DNF / but at the halfway point it really picked up & I read it in an afternoon! Very good!
