I tore through this book in about 2 days. The main character is Eliza Mirk, a high school senior who doesn't care about school, doesn't have any friends and has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with her family. The only thing she cares about is her webcomic, Monsterous Sea . This story has millions of readers online, and sales from its merchandise have made enough money that Eliza will be able to comfortably pay her own college tuition when the time comes. She has kept her identity as its author secret from everyone except her immediate family. Then a new student, whom I can only describe as a manic pixie dream boy, transfers to Eliza's school. Wallace is built like a football player but he spends all his time reading or writing in a notebook and never speaks out loud if he can help it. He and Eliza begin a very shy conversation when he sees a piece of Monsterous Sea art in her sketchbook. He thinks it's fanart and it turns out he's a fan of the comic too. Not only that, he's one of the biggest name fic writers in the story's sprawling fandom.

Even though the trajectory of the plot is incredibly predictable, I got totally sucked into this story anyway. It's very similar to Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, down to the excerpts of the comic and fic which are placed between the chapters. Despite its unoriginality, if you are in the mood for a very fast, light YA read I would recommend it.
