Sometime around last year, Marie Lu tore out our hearts, blew our minds, kicked us in the feels, gave us hope, crushed that hope, kicked us in the feels again, and then called the whole extravaganza Warcross.
Naturally, we’re all pretty excited to let her do it again.
That’s right, friends. Wildcard has been released in the wild.
Had to stop on our way to soccer practice and pick up the new book by @Marie_Lu !!! #wildcard #books #readingforpleasure @BNBaybrook pic.twitter.com/uzjdZuNTde

Now, some readers handled the new release pretty well.
Others…not so much
Some have even taken it upon themselves to warn others.
Because your heart may not recover
My #Wildcard reading experience summed up perfectly with this Emika quote: pic.twitter.com/nysN3jU4jz

Or your ability to form words for that matter
Not all cases are easily treated.
@Marie_Lu I literally just finished #Wildcard omg I feel like I’m dead inside

BUT it may be the perfect cure for a bad case of the reading slumps!
…also please watch for flying plot twist bricks.
This all raised a question…is Marie Lu evil?
Unfortunately, the answer is probably not. Even if a few readers are getting a little eager about selling their souls to her.
And at least one person has threatened to run away with our beloved Hideo.
Let’s face it. Ya’ll KNEW what you were in for.

And recovery can take…a while.
But please find some time to sleep.
Well. So much for sleeping. This book is so great. This line speaks to me. #wildcard #warcross #ocsinfopower #OurGravelly #LibrarianProblems pic.twitter.com/IFVKfFlZWa

Stay in school, kids.
And don’t feel bad. It even got to Sabaa. Her ice cream melted.
