chaymaeliteraryworld 's review for:
Eliza and Her Monsters
by Francesca Zappia
Wow!! 4 and 1/2 stars.
I absolutely enjoyed and loved this book a lot. The premise is attractive and I got into it as soon as I started. I loved the way the author portrayed Eliza's contrast as a successful webcomic creator and artist with her closed up person in real life.
As a person who can get consumed by fictional characters and all the worlds I create inside my head, this book was so relatable and really touching.
Aside from the accessible and easy to read style of writing, it can get really deep at times and I absolutely loved how the characters really portray nuanced human beings with a full spectrum of feelings and emotions. The occasional art pieces were so lovely. I would definitely be a fan of Monstrous Sea if it were a real webcomic.
I also loved how the author didn't try to completely and unrealistically "cure" Eliza or improve her relationship with her surroundings, family, school, friends as soon as Wallace showed up.
I would have given this book a complete 5 stars (because it's worth it) if I didn't find the end to be really rushed up. I liked the ending and it was satisfying to a degree. But I would have preferred that it'd be a little more in-depth than that.
Other than that, definitely recommend!
