She had love for Peeta, then Gale, then back to Peeta, then back to Gale, and then the Hunger Games arrived and it was back to Peeta. While this was interesting in the first book, the battle between the two seemed so repetitive. Also, as much as Katniss is indecisive between Gale and Peeta, I was upset between the lack of Gales presence in the book. If Katniss was going back and forth between loving the two boys, Gale should have made more of presence in order to fight for her. Peeta is still distant to us as readers and we did not know much about him. The basic thing we did know about him is that he is a baker's son and somewhat loved, and still loves, Katniss.

The Hunger Games Analysis : Katniss Everdeen There are many things people think of when reading Suzanne Collins’ novel, The Hunger Games, but one topic that scarcely gets mentioned is a tragic love story. Many readers do not see past the hatred and violence, and believe this is not a book for young adults and pre-teens, but what they do not see is the love and romance throughout the novel. There are many heartfelt moments and lessons that are overlooked because of the vast amount of mass murder in the novel, but there is one thing that is often too frequently missed that should not be because of the great lessons it can teach young teens and adults. This is Katniss’ stubborn denial of Peeta’s love, even though she has the same feelings for him, and the way they sacrifice, without even realizing it, for each other throughout the novel.
