This was giving off a Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell vibe so I expected that much, but it gave me so much more and I am honestly pleasantly surprised. Thank you, HarperCollins and Edelweiss, for sending me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.Įliza and Her Monsters has actually been so hyped up among my friends, and personally I was so excited to read this. With illustrations from Eliza’s webcomic, as well as screenshots from Eliza’s online forums and snippets of Wallace’s fanfiction, this uniquely formatted book will appeal to fans of Noelle Stevenson’s Nimona and Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl. But when Eliza’s secret is accidentally shared with the world, everything she’s built-her story, her relationship with Wallace, and even her sanity-begins to fall apart. Wallace thinks Eliza is just another fan, and Eliza begins to wonder if a life offline might be worthwhile. Then Wallace Warland, Monstrous Sea‘s biggest fanfiction writer, transfers to her school. Eliza can’t imagine enjoying the real world as much as she loves her digital community, and has no desire to try. Online, Eliza is Lad圜onstellation, anonymous creator of the wildly popular webcomic Monstrous Sea. In the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, and friendless.
