Eliza and Her Monsters
by Francesca Zappia
This was so much more emotional than I expected. I started bawling my eyes out at one point and had to put the book down for about twenty minutes to compose myself. I completed related to her as a character, and her anxiety and dependence on internet fandom communities. If that's something you can relate to, I feel like you would appreciate this book so much.
I loved the relationship with her parents and the way they weren't villains, they just didn't get it. Different generation, different interests, some miscommunication, and they had no idea what they were doing. But they still had a good relationship. I love this kind of parent relationship in YA. And her brothers were the sweetest, when they weren't being idiot middle school boys.
The only thing that kept this from being five stars for me was Wallace. I didn't like him, I didn't like their relationship, and I didn't like what happened with them toward the end. I was not rooting for them in the slightest and thought their relationship wasn't very healthy. But this was still a solid four star read and I would highly recommend to people who are involved in online fandom communities.
