I was in middle school during the peak Hunger Games craze. I loved them and my little middle school heart was so in love with Peeta. I recently reread the books to fully appreciate The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. During this read I realized I still, over a decade later, have a book crush on Peeta. I hadn’t had this happen reading a YA book in years and it got me really examining the character. And then it dawned on me – – Peeta is a truly flawless character. He’s selfless, entirely. He has the patience of a saint. He’s smart and kind and always chooses the moral path. He’s handsome and strong. I cannot think of a single character flaw. He’s unrealistic. And I’ll accept it because I like that Peeta exists, if only in a book 😂

He threw out mostly good bread to some girl. Think of what he cost his family business with his “charity”.
(This is the closest thing I can think of. Granted, it’s been a few years since I read the books, but you’re probably right)
Edit: apparently I need to add /s to the end of this post.
