Coriolanus Snow mentors and develops feelings for the female District 12 tribute during the 10th Hunger Games.
I quite liked the book, but reviews of the movie are bad enough that I'm not likely to see it.
(Like many people, I kind of assumed the book was going to be a cash-grab by an author who had run out of ideas about a character no one cared about. I was pleasantly surprised when instead, it turned out to be one of those weird obsessive ideas that won't let an author go until they get the book written -- in this case, an I-can-do-a-better-Darth-Vader-origin-story inspired by a weird 18th century poem.)
