**WARNING: There are spoilers for Eliza and Her Monsters below** As Wallace pulls Eliza out of her shell, she must decide if she’s prepared to have a life both offline and online. Wallace is Monstrous Sea’s biggest fanfiction writer, who thinks Eliza is just another big fan of the webcomic. Eliza can’t imagine having any relationship better than her online friendships, until she meets the new kid in school. But with a pen in her hand and a computer in front of her, she transforms into Lad圜onstellation, the anonymous creator of the popular online comic series, Monstrous Sea. Summary: Eliza Mirk thinks she’s the quiet girl who prefers baggy sweatshirts and jeans to anything.
As you may tell as you read my review, I loved Eliza and Her Monsters and I highly recommend that you pick up this book as soon as possible. Not only could I see myself in Eliza, but I could see myself in her story, even though I do not run a multi-million follower online series (maybe one day!). While I’ve read other, mostly great books about the Internet and fandom, reading Eliza and Her Monsters gave me the closest reading experience I had to Fangirl. For many readers and reviewers, including myself, Fangirl incorporates so much about fandom and having such a love for fictional stories and characters, not to mention social anxiety, family, relationships, and more. It probably doesn’t come as too much as a surprise, but I am a huge fan of Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl. In this case, however, I won’t be because I want to express my love for Francesca Zappia’s Eliza and Her Monsters even before you get into the rest of my fangirl feels. Many of my book reviews go right into the summary of the novel.
