Ok listen, I got into this series in the worst of times for me. I became obsessed with it to be quite honest and read the whole 3 books (there are 2 more out now about one of the side characters) in the span of a week on my phone. The characters are all traumatized messes and the dynamics between them are frankly a little insane. But it feels so good. The whole thing is about nonlinear healing and how different types of trauma create different responses and need different things. Not so explicitly but it's there the whole time. It's found family sort of. The list of trigger warnings on this thing is crazy so if you need to look that up definitely do. It's a weird mafia sports book? There's romance? It's really hard to put into words. You'll either love it or think I'm insane for loving it. But this is my all time favorite series. The one that's so so close to my heart that I don't even mention it because it feels that personal. I'm only sharing this now because I know it's what I would've needed if I was you. If you don't like it or don't read it that's totally ok. But for the love of everything do NOT come into my comments hating on it because this is the one thing I don't want any constructive criticism on. It's my baby.

When I really think about it, I owe so much to this series….. Peeta Mellark I know you like an old friend… Cheesy ya ya maybe I’m a Gen Z Potterhead about The Hunger Games but it’s hard for me to really articulate the depth of this series impact on me. Not just content wise, but it was my first real ~obsession~ and that in itself is a special thing for any young girl. Re-reading it as an adult was one of the most joyous experiences in the past few years of my life, and tbh, I’m not short on joyous experiences. Coming back to a really important story for you during formative years AND it being genuinely GOOD is fucking awesome. I have mixed feelings about all this prequel business but I’ll always ride for the original trilogy Katniss and Peeta are literally old friends of mine

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
