The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games, #0)
Suzanne Collins
echomarie finished reading and wrote a review...
I don’t know what it is with me and accidentally buying adult romances because it’s happened twice now??
I enjoyed this a lot though. I’m never gonna love the insta-love (ha) trope, possibly mostly because I don't think it’s realistic and maybe that’s me being boring or pessimistic, I don’t know. That definitely did make it hard for me to truly love the two of them together, but I still had a lot of fun and I loved so many of the characters. Jack, Ellie, of course, the Grandmas, Katherine, Andrew and Dylan - I cheered for those two throughout the whole book - Ari and Meredith !!!
Both Jack and Ellie’s individual emotional journeys were so important and I related a lot to both of them. Ellie’s fear of failure and her anxiety, Jack’s fear of letting people in and her feeling like a “fuck-up.” I also did like them together, even though it took some time for me.
I honestly haven’t felt very Christmas-y this year yet, so I needed this. It made me laugh out loud so many times, and yeah, it did also make me cry a few times. It was a very fun and comforting read, but the kind of read where you’re neither impressed or disappointed.
