We’ve all felt that moment when a book brings out more emotions in us than a human ever has. That’s exactly the case with The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey: read on for the roller coaster of feels it brought out in us!

1st Wave: Admiration

Dang, this Cassie girl is tough. All of humanity is pretty much being destroyed by massive disasters brought on by aliens and she seriously knows how to hold her own. #Respect

2nd Wave: Concern

Wait, this whole alien invasion thing doesn’t sound too far off. In fact, it sounds like a pretty good way to go about it. Like, is this how they would do it? Do I believe in aliens? Wait. DO I NEED TO BE WORRIED RIGHT NOW?

3rd Wave: Restored faith

Ok alright, at least Cassie has this Evan guy around! And aw – maybe they’ll even get together and everything will be OK! Just hope he’s not an alien.

4th Wave: Awe

That ending. I just…no words. The action. The twists. The feels. I think I need to lay down for a bit.

5th Wave: Desperation

The book is over, but the story can’t be. Bring on The Infinite Sea!
