Yay for re-reads! I last read this in like 2022 I think 😋

ARG THIS BOOK IS SO SWEET

I love getting more details into Nesta and Elaine’s stories. It makes me excited for the next books!!!

I know Maysilee is going to die soon, so I don’t want to keep reading 😭 all of the Newcomers had such a terrible death 💔

Haymitch gets to talk to Lenore Dove for probably the last time 😭

I’m gonna have to wait until I’m not at work to read their conversation so I can cry my eyes out ❤️‍🩹

omg another hint about the arena here: Plutarch takes Haymitch to the conservatory where he shows him a CARNIVOROUS PLANT that attracts flies with its smell, only to trap and kill them.

Aren’t the tributes and people of district 12 referred to as insects, or piggies?

This is 100% a hint for Haymitch that the plants in the arena will be toxic!!!!! omggg

I think that the various bright colors that each district tributes wear is a hint for the wildflowers that are found in the arena. Haymitch referring to district 4’s as “sickly green” also confirms the clue that the wildflowers will be toxic!

How will I ever EVER read another book and be satisfied again??? This is TRULY the BEST book I’ve EVER read in my LIFE. I just finished part 2 and I have no words. Impeccable writing and storytelling. I want to go back to the beginning to reread the book even though I haven’t finished it, and partly because I don’t want this story to end. SENLINYU IS MOTHER OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS LEGENDARY BOOK 😭

I LOVE this!!! It hurts to see Kaine going back to being distant after him and Helena were together intimately. It’s so hard to tell Kaine’s true feelings when he keeps shoving them down and we only see a sliver of them rarely.

I keep telling myself that there will be a good-ish ending, that things will get a little better, but idk. I’m worried about the ending!! please be good 🥺😭

I feel like the author doesn’t know much about Japan because why is she talking about guns and bulletproof glass when Japan has extremely restrictive gun laws and guns are only used very very rarely even by police. It doesn’t make sense??? It takes me out of the story when the guns are mentioned bc I don’t think it’s accurate?

this is THE slow-burn amongst all slow-burn romance novels. this is phenomenal 😫

I’m so conflicted 😭 they are such strong of enemies I don’t think they could ever grow to love each other but I feel like FERRON has always cared for her at least slightly. Ugh I’m so torn 😫

oooo I’m loving the slow burn

I’m so confused with what’s going on but I’m so excited

SOMEONE SEDATE ME I HATE THIS MAN HES SO IMMATURE OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM!!!

HOW IS HE SO UPSET AT AMERICA WHEN ALL HE SAW WAS AMERICA AND ASPEN TALKING. they were TALKING!!! 😭 HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW THEY WERE MAKING OUT BEFORE AMD HES SERIOUSLY THIS MAD????

SHE FORGAVE HIM FOR NEARLY MAKING BABIES IN THE HALLWAYS WITH CELESTE BUT HE SEES AMERICA TALKING TO A MAN AND HE BREAKS EVERYTHING OFF??????

I don’t get it. If you love him then TELL HIM!! Why didn’t she tell him she loved him in the rain on the rooftop??? she was so concerned about not being the first one to she the L word, and then she just did. Like????

Also, Maxton has ZERO right to be angry about catching America and Aspen when they were having a close argument. Bro acts like he was getting freaky with Celeste several times. THE AUDACITY!!!

OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT BLONDE LITTLE TWAT LITTLE HORNY UNBELIEVABLE MAXTON WAS KISSING CELESTE OMG IM SO MAD RN

like how can he say “what i do with her has nothing to do with us” YOU’RE TRYING TO JUSTIFY HAVING A SIDE CHICK?!!! LIKE HES JUST USING CELESTE FOR HER BODY AND THEN HE HAS THIS LITTLE INNOCENT ROMANCE WITH AMERICA SO HE CAN PRETEND THAT HES A GOOD GUY??? im so done omg.

will this be a princess x bodyguard/enemies to lovers story???!!! I love it sm so far 💘
