I really want to like these.  I enjoyed book 2 for the most part. I think I may not be in the right head space to devour it like I should. May try again another time.

It was a good book with good writing.  Just like the other Hunger Games novels. However I had a hard time rooting for Snow as the main character. As soon as Collins gets you on Snow's side, the rug gets pulled out from under you.  The ending has me feeling really conflicted.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.
It's cute and gives you the same feeling as a warm hug.  But there romantic interest don't really build.  They're just kind of there.  She has a lot of chemistry with her friend. I struggled to stay interested past the first 45%
