I need to clear the record about two things.
Post from the Love in a Headscarf forum
I am a desperately single 23 year old. I have never even gone out on a date, and last year I started wearing the hijab. A few months ago when me and my best friend fought the monsoon rains to end up in our favourite thrift book shop. I found this book, and she INSISTED I find it. I start reading this in the middle of her wedding and perhaps she and I both are hoping this book will help us manifest something for me 👀

I am so just....
Here is the thing, I am starting this series as a 23 year old. I haven't seen the movies and I only know one heartbreaking spoiler. That's it. Going in it did feel like it was a bit slow or just not written for my age group. But then as soon as the hunger games start I was wrapped in this world and I could not put it down. I finished the whole book within 12 hours.
Knowing the inspiration was the absolute brutality shown by the western world in Iraq just amplifies the impact of the book because the world Katniss lives in is no barbarian civilisation which is hard to imagine. It is the same as the world we live in. The world Palestinians live in. Free Falastin!

I am so hooked and my only fear is that the book will end on a cliff hanger and there is no way I am getting the second book any time soon.

I had my doubts at first, but I positively hooked. It is such good world building and knowing what inspired the author it's really interesting trying to figure out what inspired certain themes and settings.
