The Hunger Games reads like a Wattpad fanfic?

For reference, I read The Hunger Games in middle school almost ten years ago, and I LOVED it. I recently rewatched the movies and fell in love with it again, so I decided that I needed to reread the books to feel the full experience and complexity of the story.

But it's so… juvenile? I know the writing style is meant to be accessible, and it's probably not written for an audience of early-twenty-year-olds, but golly does this read like the Wattpad fan-fiction I used to consume alongside trad-works in middle school. While there are occasional nice lines, the prose is as basic as it gets, it's written in first-person present tense, and there's a scene in chapter three of Haymitch puking and falling drunkenly into his own vomit that was so cringeworthy that I just had to close the book and set it aside for a moment.

Don't get me wrong, there are many great things about the book so far, but the prose is just really taking me out of it. And not to mention the CONSTANT "he says, she says" after every dialogue tag (sometimes twice in the same paragraph!), and emotions/tone of voice described specifically through the use of adverbs.

Has anyone else recently read the series? Does it get better? I'm going to push through it because I truly do like the storyline, but the writing is just—ugh.
