Genre: YA contemporary
I have only one word for this book: INCREDIBLE.
This book is basically about a girl named Eliza who has created the comic Monstrous Sea online, and is a sensation on the online world. However, nobody really knows her true identity but is known as LadyConstellation. She suffers from an anxiety and has an issue while trying to interact with real people outside the internet world.
Eliza has no interest in making friends at school because she thinks she has enough friends online who read and are fans of her comic book. The story progresses on when she meets a new boy Wallace Warland who is a fan of Monstrous Sea himself and writes the most famous fanfiction about it. A quick connection sparks between the two while they uncover each others secrets, pasts and true passion.
This book was slightly slow paced in the beginning but once I was emerged into it, I could not stop reading. The character development was flawless and within a few pages I was so attached to them. Wallace's character was probably my most favourite as he too did have slight issues with anxiety and he would write down notes to interact with Eliza at certain points. Zappia had also included excerpts from Eliza's comic books and her illustrations which just added a bonus to the already fascinating story. I do not want to write more about it because I don't want to give away much about the story.
Eliza and Her Monsters is perfect for the fans of Fangirl but in my opinion I enjoyed reading this book a lot more than reading Fangirl.
