[6th re-read] so here i am having just read this book for the 6th time making it my most read book ive ever read. This story is important yet so disturbing. It's hard to read this book again and again but Sadie is the character that is on my mind a lot. She is the character that feels so real to me and my heart aches for her but she doesn't exist.. but she does in the women around us and thats the sad part. Definite TW if you ever want to read this but this book changed my life and i think i'll forever love sadie.

edit: 7/5/21: 5th time reading it and wow. The end made me cry when it didn't cry the 4 previous times. I just love Sadie as a character and I love her and miss her but she's not real
:((((
Edit: 12/10/20: read it again lol
Edit: 21/06/20: Third time reading it and it gets better every time. Out of every book ive ever read, this book has hit me the hardest and makes me feel the most. Sadie is my favourite character of all time and I think about her 24/7
April 2020:
One of the best books to exist and it was better the second time around. I'm so in love with this book
3rd re-read and still as amazing as ever.
This is a book you need to read more than once, it feels like a new story each time!
On the first read, it shocked me.
On the second read, I could understand what is going on in the story and it felt like I was reading a whole new book.
and now on the third read, nothing is new to me but the story is still sooo good.
I read this back in 2016 but I just want to share my unique reading experience for this book.
I was walking to my room and opened the first page and read the first couple lines, I stopped outside my bedroom door and kept reading. Before I knew it, I finished the book. I read this whole book in one standing, I don't even know how I did it but I was standing in one place for hours and didn't take my eyes of this book once. No toilet or snack breaks. It sucked me in so much that I didn't even realise I was standing for that long.
When I finished it, I kinda looked around and realised where I was and how dark it got around me, It was night time!
I read the first two books in one sitting so if that doesn't say how addicting these books are...

If anyone wants to know what my favourite series is, its the hush hush series. There is a reason ive read this series 5 times, its GOD TIER. Absolute masterpiece. I can see why people hate this series and I respect that but also I am willing to fight.
How can you hate this series when the taco chapter exists? Unbelievable.
You can hate this series all you want but if you hate the taco chapter.. we can't be friends. I'm sorry.
[3rd re-read]
AHHHHHHJHAGJHHGAJHGHHHHHHHAHJSGHJAGSUYGJHHHAHHHHHHH i missed this series so much. I missed my man haymitch the most, i've been fighting for his prequel novel like my life depends on it and i won't give up. He is an icon.
we all have our favourite books and yeah we do get upset if others don't like them but we accept it but..... i can literally not think of a reason why someone could rate this book any less than 5 stars. I can't even wrap my head around the fact that there are people out there that have rated this book 4 stars.. this is how i know we live in a horrid and evil world.
I can't wait to re-read catching Fire. THAT BOOK IS THE BLUEPRINT. YA wouldn't be what it is today without Catching Fire. it INVENTED literature. Catching fire is THE BEST novel out there and i won't accept any other opinion. fight with ur mum about it idc
anyways the hunger games remains on the throne of YA and it will NEVER been dethroned, trust me.
i lost the book and its now the 26th so i guess i'll be picking this back up next year lmaooo

As a mute girl, I really needed this book. Every mute person is different and experience life differently from other mute people so I didn't go into this expecting to relate fully but I related to the main character for most of the book.
I was diagnosed with selective mutism at age 3 but I was getting better until my dad died when I was 4. I'm 20 now and still have only spoken to 6 people in my entire life.
The reason I'm posting this now is because I'm starting a book tube channel to help me through my mutism. 20 years of silence has been tough and its been so lonely so I need to start forcing myself to get better. I can't wait to post videos!

I will never forgive the 2014 book community for hyping this up so much. Ive never seen a bad review for this book (I haven't looked for one) but yo, I hate this book more than anything and its always all over youtube and ig and whatever and seeing it fills me with rage. I see the colour mint green and think of this. Its ruined mint choc chip ice cream for me,, just kidding, I don't eat mint choc chip because im not disgusting
Meg Gatland-Veness is a complete auto-buy author for me - she could write a book with just 1 word in it and I would buy it. Can't wait for this one!!!
i saw this in the bookstore and flipped to a random page to see if the writing style would suit my tastes and it ended up being the page with the huge plot twist so...
Heather, Fern and Amber were the best fairies and I will not accept anyone else opinions
genuinely need this book - i watch the Sneetches on youtube to help me fall asleep most nights
