Thoughts on The Hunger Games trilogy, written March 21, 2012 (includes spoilers, if you haven't read the series):
And I just realized, yeah, as I was reading the books, I never picked Gale or Peeta. Honestly now, I can say I always liked Peeta far more than Gale, and by Mockingjay I would’ve been furious if Katniss did anything remotely romantic with Gale. But when I started reading the series, I assumed because of who Katniss was and the world she lived in that she wouldn’t end up with either Gale or Peeta. I thought the ending would be bittersweet, without any marriage or children or any of that.
So I guess I could say I was “Team Katniss” all the way. It wasn’t until the freakin’ LAST PAGE of the book that I let myself believe Katniss and Peeta would end up together. I was always so skeptical.
