4/4/23: best cliffhanger is ever exist. another thing i thought about when rereading for the billionth time, i love peeta. i wish they let more of his personality shine through. my first true love.

probably the best sequel to a book ever in my own opinion. everything about it is amazing. i love peeta. i wanna cry. always. just Chills. i could write an essay. ...more "
