Let’s talk. About a dress. And THESE BROKEN STARS.

On a cool, overcast day, I took this green dress into the heart of Los Angeles. And by heart, I mean a bustling shopping center. I ran across this gentlemanly snowman, who seemed to take a liking to the dress. I think he wanted to try it on, but I don’t think it’s quite his size (although the color does look good on him). More importantly, I don’t think he quite understood how HARD it is to walk elegantly in a dress this epicly long.

What the heck does this have to do with anything, Marie?! What is this dress?

This dress is no ordinary dress. In fact, this dress is THE VERY SAME DRESS that you see on the cover of THESE BROKEN STARS.

Oh yes. That’s right. This dress is traveling across the U.S. in celebration of THESE BROKEN STARS’s launch on Dec. 10!

Let me wax poetic on this book for a moment. In THESE BROKEN STARS, Lilac LaRoux, daughter of the wealthiest man in the universe, and Tarver Merendsen, the coolest soldier boy I’ve seen since forever, are the only survivors of a luxury spaceliner that crashes out of hyperspace onto an alien planet. If that’s not a recipe for a brilliant story, I don’t know what is. Anyway, as I sped eagerly through this thrilling, heart-pounding, heartwrenching story, I couldn’t stop thinking about how DIFFICULT it must be to trek across a forbidding alien landscape while clad in this dress. So let my photo’s expression be a warning—this thing is pretty, but it’s no easy feat to survive in it. You go, Lilac. You go. (Also—Tarver, marry me.)

This dress will be traveling to some of your favorite authors, so stay tuned tomorrow to see where the dress has gone and what it’s up to! And when Dec. 10 rolls around, you can see for yourself what all the buzz is about in THESE BROKEN STARS. You’re in for an amazing ride.
