“So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”
I tell him, “Real.”

“What has been proposed is that in lieu of eliminating the entire Capitol population, we have a final, symbolic Hunger Games, using the children directly related to those who held the most power.”
All seven of us turn to her. “What?” says Johanna.”

“Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly.
And I hate him for it.”

“I’ve just reached the door when his voice stops me. “Katniss. I remember about the bread.”
The bread. Our one moment of real connection before the Hunger Games.”

I miss him so badly it hurts.”

Me 2 bro

“song.”
“Not you. Your father. He heard him singing it one day when he came to trade at the bakery. Peeta was small, probably six or seven, but he remembered it because he was specially listening to see if the birds stopped singing,” says Haymitch. “Guess they did.”
Six or seven. ”

Six seven 😜

“They could still escape through the train tunnel to the square,” says Beetee.
“Not if we blow it up,” says Gale brusquely. His intent, his full intent, becomes clear. Gale has no interest in preserving the lives of those in the Nut. No interest in caging the prey for later use.
This is one of his death traps.”

“Don’t trust her, Delly,” says Peeta in a frantic voice. “I did, and she tried to kill me. She killed my friends. My family. Don’t even go near her! She’s a mutt!”
A hand reaches through the doorway, pulls Delly out, and the door swings shut. But Peeta keeps yelling. “A mutt! She’s a stinking mutt!”

“Twelve burned down, didn’t it? Because of her,” says Peeta angrily. “Because of Katniss!” He begins to pull on the restraints.”

Bae :(.

“Snow executed Peeta’s stylist and his prep team on live television tonight. We’ve no idea what happened to Effie Trinket”

Where Effie at bro💔

“ My mother, who’s been assisting in a complicated surgery, has still not been informed of Peeta’s assault”

Wait is this why this person of the book is called the assault

“We’re sideswiped by a gurney bearing an unconscious, emaciated young woman with a shaved head. Her flesh shows bruises and oozing scabs. Johanna Mason. Who actually knew rebel secrets. At least the one about me. And this is how she has paid for it.”

“Did you love Annie right away, Finnick?” I ask.
“No.” A long time passes before he adds, “She crept up on me.”

“Is that what happened to you?” I ask Haymitch.
“No. My mother and younger brother. My girl. They were all dead two weeks after I was crowned victor. Because of that stunt I pulled with the force field,” he answers. “Snow had no one to use against me.”

I wish I could put reaction pics coz I was sobbing throughout this chapter

“President Snow used to…sell me…my body, that is,” Finnick begins in a flat, removed tone. “I wasn’t the only one. If a victor is considered desirable, the president gives them as a reward or allows people to buy them for an exorbitant amount of money. If you refuse, he kills someone you love. So you do it.”

I’ll go cry now

“Haymitch asks her if he can speak to me privately. The others leave except for Gale, who lingers uncertainly by my side. “What are you worried about?” Haymitch asks him. “I’m the one who needs the bodyguard.”

“Wash her face,” says Dalton. Everyone turns to him. “She’s still a girl and you made her look thirty-five. Feels wrong. Like something the Capitol would do.”

Love you Dalton

“I mean you put her in a bad position. Making her give Peeta and the others immunity when we don’t even know what sort of damage they might cause,” Gale had said.”

Sybau

“I looked past her to the writing on the tombstone she’d just stepped away from. There was no name on the cross, no year, but an inscription had been added.
May her memory be eternal.”

☹️

“The last time I was here,” I said, making a mental note to kill my mom for bringing us into this unprepared, “there was only one tombstone.”

DID LILLIAN DIE

“Sadie-Grace took off her scarlet robe and placed it around Lily’s shoulders. “Just remember,” she cautioned, “what we’re about to tell you doesn’t change who you are. It’s just like musical chairs, but with parents.”

WELL THANK GOODNESS THEIR NOT HALF SIBLINGS OMG

“Daddy didn’t know,” Campbell said decisively. “You were his favorite. You’re still Mama’s favorite. . . .”
“She told me that she loved me extra—in case he didn’t.”
Campbell took a moment to recover from that and then shrugged. “In that case,” she said, pivoting, “Lily, we have slightly less devastating news for you.”

“Trust me,” Victoria told him, “you’ll be very glad once this secret is out. Very. Glad.”
“Fine.” “I’m a bastard.”
“This again?” Campbell asked. “I thought you got all of that pesky self-loathing out of your system last year.”

“Oh, God, I thought suddenly. Walker and Lily.
If Lily was Ana’s baby, then her father was Sterling Ames. And if Lily’s father was Sterling Ames, that meant that Campbell was her half-sister.
And Walker was her half-brother.”

OH MY GODD. Sawyer why would you remind us💔

“Kaci,” Lillian stated, exasperated, “I will do no such thing.”
The name—Kaci—froze Aunt Olivia in her spot.
“Kaci?” I repeated.
“You know.” Aunt Olivia’s voice shook, like Lillian knowing her real name was somehow more unfortunate than the fact that she’d been caught holding us hostage at gunpoint.”

SHE KNEW

“Ellen said she didn’t take a dime from the people who adopted Ana’s baby,” I told Aunt Olivia. “Ana got paid, but Ellen didn’t.” I paused. “Ellen wouldn’t take your money.”
“Wait a second,” Campbell interjected. “Are you implying . . .”
That Lily is Ana’s baby.”

I KNEW IT

Wait so does this mean JD was in love w the real Olivia?

“My mom knew,” I said. “She might not have known known, but she sure as hell knew you didn’t feel like her sister anymore.”
“That wasn’t my fault. I wanted to be a good sister to Ellie, but she just made that so impossible! I had to keep her at a distance, and she never forgave me for that. J.D. could never quite forgive me, either. And that, sweetheart, is how this family ended up with you.”

“It was an accident. I could hear Lily’s father saying those words on John David’s recording. I could hear him telling Aunt Olivia to say her name.”

“Watch his foot, Liv. Don’t trip.
The silent warning went unheeded, and Liv—popular, fearless, privileged Liv—went over the ledge.”

I KNEW IT
