i think the first time i read this i completely missed how the whole star crossed lover thing was a facade. i think my naive 5th grade brain wasn’t able to recognize that Katniss’s feelings weren’t completely genuine or understood. i thought the whole thing was very real. now reading this Katniss’s and Peeta’s interactions are veiled with something new and even manipulative or cynical.

this is my second read of the hunger games. i read it for the first time late elementary school, early middle school and had a HUUUGE hunger games phase. we talking about all the books and all the movies were a big deal to young me. recently decided to read it again because i saw a video of someone on youtube reacting to the movies which made my love for the series start all over again
