This book did a lot of things for me. After being unable to write for many months, I finally found it in me to add more to the stories that I've been working on for so long. Eliza inspired me to do that. Her devotion to Monstrous Sea made me realize how much I miss being passionate about my own creations. Francesca Zappia is an inspiring author--someone that I now look up to. If I could thank her for this book, I would a thousand times. This reminded me of how much I love books. That feeling keeps me going on my worst days.

Eliza and Wallace
Eliza and Wallace's relationship was simple and sweet. A good display of first love and how to figure out flirting for the first time. I loved, how they both made mistakes and even with the fact that both of them struggled a lot with communication, they both tried to talk with each other about their feelings and respect each other's boundaries.
Eliza and her family:
At this point, I did have some problems with Eliza which is the only reason this was not a 5-star read. Eliza spends a lot of time complaining about her family and how they don't understand her, yet she also doesn't try to understand them. She sees her family as weirdos because they're into sports and she isn't, she sees her brothers as twins because they're a year apart and have similar interests.
Even though she spends so much time feeling like her family doesn't understand, she also doesn't try to let her parents understand, she just closes up every time her parents try to let her explain her online life.
Ending:
The character development at the end was well-executed and how it showed that it doesn't just happen from one day to the next but that it is work, that we as humans need to keep fighting against our monsters every day, but that we have to remember that we aren't fighting the fight alone.
