"Haven't you heard? There are monsters in the sea."

Altogether, this was a nice read.

I liked the aspects of fandom, online friendships and talks about anxiety and loss. Also, the cover is gorgeous.

What I didn't like, sadly, was the main character. You'd think a girl who isn't very social, only has online friends and fictional characters as escape routes, would be amazingly relatable for quite a few of us introverted anxious bookworms. And yet I couldn't get on Eliza's side. Most of the time I found her stubborn, self centered and a little ungrateful.
I absolutely loved her family. Her parents love her so much but they get blamed and insulted for trying to show that they care.
Her brothers could have very interesting stories but Eliza just doesn't care.
Even Wallace, lovely adorable Wallace, doesn't get the respect and attention he deserves from her (mostly).

I guess this book is meant to critique this. It shows that she is so self absorbed that "monsters" aren't only growing in her made up stories, but also in her own head.
Now that was nicely done.
It does, however, make her difficult to like for most of the book.
