raadelma 's review for:

Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
3.0

"Do you ever have an idea for a story, or a character, or even a line of dialogue or something, and suddenly it seems like the whole world is brighter? Like everything opens up, and everything makes sense?"

Actual rating: 3.5. stars, maybe?

Contemporary YA is not my thing nowadays, but Eliza was very relatable character to me (almost painfully so), and I really enjoyed commentary about online fandoms and creating art, the power of stories. The last part of the book, after ~the reveal~, wasn't as strong as I hoped it would, though - I wish it would have made me feel more, like it was supposed to, but that didn't happen. Still, this was a good story nonetheless.
