It is happening a lot more in young adult literature, but it is still so important to show that to young readers.Eliza and Her Monsters Life will go on, and so will you. I also loved seeing the positive representation of therapy in this book. I am hardpressed to find a book that actually makes me feel the emotions the characters do, and Eliza and Her Monsters had just that. The plot was there, but it wouldn’t have mattered if you didn’t care about Eliza and Wallace. Overall, the characters in this book were the star of the show. Eliza is shown so much beautiful support, and this is something everyone deserves.
However, by the end of the book, the reader sees a huge shift in the family, especially in Eliza’s younger brothers. This is something I think a lot of young readers will understand and relate to. From the main character’s perspective, the family was overbearing and didn’t understand why she was spending so much time at her computer. Although Wallace’s communication of anger to Eliza when he finds out the truth was problematic, it was not out of view of the plot and the characters that the author created.Įliza’s family was also interesting to read. With all the romanticization of abusive relationships, you see in terrible books like Twilight and After, it was nice reading this for a change. I love seeing a healthy portrayal of relationships in YA media. We all have different communication needs, and Eliza and Wallace adapted so well to each other’s needs. They both worked so well together, and the way they communicated warmed my heart. I was also such a huge fan of the relationship between Eliza and Wallace. So, I was rooting for her in every step of this story. Honestly, I was pretty jealous, considering that my whole goal in life is to make money from my writing.
It was interesting to see how she dealt with the fame of her account and the money she made from it.
I was expecting the portrayal of anxiety and the romance that blooms but I was surprised by how much I loved reading about Eliza and her webcomic. But what would happen if everyone found out she was the famous artist with over one million followers? One day, the new kid at Eliza’s school reveals himself as a huge fan of the webcomic, and a relationship develops between them. The main character, Eliza, is the anonymous author of a very popular (millions of fans popular) webcomic entitled “Monstrous Sea.” She spends all day drawing new pages for her fans, with nobody knowing what her real identity is. This story was filled with so much passion, joy, and anxiety, I was hooked until the very last chapter.
