When it comes to couples in YA books, I’m usually inclined to support the way things work out in the original text. Sure, I have some qualms with Ron Weasley and Augustus Waters, but overall, I like to keep it canon. Harry and Ginny? Great. Tris and Four? All about it. Bella and Edward? Sure. Whatever. They deserve each other.
You know where I draw the line? The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I came out on Friday, which dubbed this weekend Hunger Games weekend. We’re all obsessed with this series from the books to the movies to the merch. Even though we definitely don’t want to participate in the whole fight-our-peers-to-the-death thing, we do often think about which characters we would date.
I mean, there are a lot of viable options. Katniss is lucky she gets to choose between Peeta and Gale! Tough decision, truly, because they would both be great boyfriends. In the spirit of the games, we ranked which Hunger Games characters (the currently living ones) would have the odds in their favor of being a good boyfriend or girlfriend.
