Author's Summary:
Johanna Mason always seems to know exactly what I need to hear, and deliver it with such brutal honesty that it can’t possibly be ignored. Maybe she has known me better than anyone else all along.

Review:
I am loving this story. Johanna is one of my favorite characters and she's written well here. Also, I am so glad someone else noticed/thought how awful it was that Peeta put Katniss on the spot, not just confessing his love for her in a way that meant she had to go along for the sake of the games, but so she had to go on with it even after the war. It's like he (and Haymitch, who apparently knew beforehand) just thought since Peeta loved her that was that. She's this passive object that Peeta chooses and it doesn't matter what it did to her. Even though they said they didn't tell her "the game plan" beforehand so she'd have a "genuine" reaction for the cameras during the interview, it's like the didn't even consider that her actual reaction could be something other than "shocked, but flattered and interested". I mean if someone put me on the spot like that, I'd be pissed and it would definitely show!
