Eliza and Her Monsters Review
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia: My Review Rating: 4.5/5 stars You found me in a constellation. Wow. I loved Eliza and Her Monsters so much more than I was expecting to. I think I can safely say that out of all the books I've read so far this year, this one has made me the happiest, and it came at a time when I truly needed it - I binge read it in a day. So I knew the book was about a girl who writes a web comic and a boy who writes fanfiction, but I was NOT prepared for the sheer amount of geek and fandom and internet love that spills from this book and I lived for every single second of it. There was something I found extremely comforting about these nerdy quirky characters and the conversations they have. In relation to this, there's a huge emphasis on internet friends in the book, since 98% of Eliza's life is spent interacting with people online while her parents argue they don't count as "real friends". Zappia talks in abundance
