Welcome back to Escape With Me Bookclub! 🎙️ This week, we’re diving into The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins but here’s the twist: it’s the first time one of us has ever read it.

From Katniss’ survival skills 🏹 to Peeta’s charm 🎂, we talk about the themes that made this dystopian classic unforgettable and how it hits when you’re reading it for the first time today.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• First impressions vs. nostalgia reads

• The Capitol’s Crimes (some fashion)

• Why Suzanne Collins’ world-building still holds up

• And, of course, the Peeta vs. Gale debate 🔥

Whether you read it back in middle school or you’re just now cracking it open, this one’s for you.

📚 Join the conversation and tell us: When did you first read The Hunger Games and are you Team Peeta, Team Gale, or Team Katniss?
