this book i enjoyed a lot more and i feel as though it’s due to the fact it focuses a lot on socks and out of all the characters, i relate and understand the mental health/ life issues he feels/ deals with.

the cover of this book was the reason i even picked it up, i thought reading this would be a simple romance read however it actually talks about issues in todays society and i enjoyed how well it was to educate not only the characters but also me as a reader.

real or not real? this series was amazing? real. 
i read these books in 6 days (could have done it in less if i had read on sunday instead of playing animal crossing) but i loved the series and i loved the first two books the most however the last line for this book OMG. i adore them both they’re so cute.

i couldn’t put this down at all. the start was slow but then again…
you didn’t expect them to go back into the games the way they had to so obviously the start of being back in district 12 was long
this book makes me love peeta even more. and their relationship i like a lot more than what they had in the first book. finnick is hot. i don’t want him to die so he better not. i’m so annoyed it took me a year to pick up this series but it’s so worth it i cant put the books down.

i love their relationship so much. this book made me cry and laugh and smile, everything was adorable and omg the nickname he gives hannah is so cute for some reason? i love this book, not sure if i should give it a 5 stars so if you see it say 5 stars, it means i changed it but if not then i chose to keep it to 4.75 :)
