Review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I can't believe I have never reviewed this book. I've seriously read it like 10 times, and I've seen the movie probably 50 times. Let's just say I'm a fan of Katniss and Peeta.

Yes, Peeta. I never got on the Gale train, although he is quite handsome in the movies. But my heart belongs to Katniss and Peeta, the star-crossed lovers from District 12. Since everyone has seen this or read this, I will spare you the synopsis. But here is why I return to the book and movie over and over. Katniss is prickly on the outside, but she is a huge marshmallow inside. She sacrificed herself for her sister, for Peeta, for her district, for Rue, basically anyone but herself. And even though she's pretty selfless, she's still flawed, and I appreciate that. And Peeta. It's apparent that he's always seen her for HER, and has loved her at a distance. And he is willing to give it all up for her, and that makes me love him all the more. Acts of service is my love language, yo. Peeta is my jam.

Favorite part? The cave. What? I'm a prickly marshmallow, too. Sue me. 4 stars.
