I really loved this, as an artist myself I can totally see myself as Eliza and she handled things. I loved the friendship between Eliza, Emma and Max, it's such a wonderful friendship that teens now can relate to. I really loved Wallace as a person, he is such a loveable but still flawed character. It took me some time to get through this book, but I don't regret that It took so long!
I really enjoyed this!

Me costó muchísimo conectar con la historia y los personajes a lo largo de la mayor parte del libro. En general me sentía bastante confundida en ciertas ocasiones, no sabía como sentirme con respecto a los personajes y sus relaciones. Cuando no me sentía confundida me sentía extremadamente frustrada y enojada. Habia situaciones en donde me sentía demasiado indignada y no podía creer lo que sucedía.
Aunque el vuelco emocional que implican los últimos capítulos me sorprendió gratamente a pesar de que sentí que no fue muy bien manejado por la autora. El arco argumental de Eliza me resultó insuficiente y casi que no podía soportar su actitudes. Los diálogos no fueron muy elaborados y tampoco me gustó el ritmo de la historia.
Puede que esté haciendo un análisis muy simplista de la historia pero en general siento que no fue una historia para mi, pese a reconocer ciertos puntos fuertes de la historia no disfruté leyendo este libro.

I don't want to spend my life doing something I hate. I f you know what you're meant to do, if you know what you love, why not do that?

An enjoyable interesting book!
I loved so many things about this book: The illustrations were beautiful and refreshing, I found Eliza a relatable character and I think the writer did a great job in portraying the importance of online relationships for young adults and the difficulty some parents find in understanding this kind of friendship and the extent to which people might fall in love with a book, comic or any kind of fandom related activity. For this reason, I believe this book should be read not only by young adults but also by parents who may cause their kids more damage not because they don't understand but because most of the time they get worried and try to fix things and instead end up messing everything up because it is not enough to care for your kids. Sometimes it is more important to understand that even if it looks wrong to you, to them it is not! They are actually happy the way they are. So don't try to change them. Talk to them, try to love the things they love and if you can't just don't get in their way don't force them to do the things you think they should be doing...
Okay, back to the book :D
Well, as I said there are many things to love and appreciate about this book. It tackles many issues in a thoughtful way and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the ending.
It is not that I didn't like the end. It is just that it ended it too fast. And by this I mean towards the end things escalate and Eliza goes through difficulties.
Spoiler
The panic attacks affected me deeply andAll in all, the book is great and you can finish it in one sitting. I'm sure you will enjoy it if not at least most of it. So pick it up! ;)
