My Thoughts (Spoilers)
Going into this book I had a lot of hype and expectations on how much I would enjoy this novel. Since I read another one of her books and I was very surprised about how much I ended up liking that one. And I have to say, I was pleasantly impressed from this novel, even with my lack of contemporary books I enjoyed.
My favourite part of this novel is for sure the images of Eliza drawings and the glimpses of the webcomic. Just seeing parts Monstrous Sea, which is the main focus of the story, I liked having an idea about. One of my favourite images was on page 13.
The way Eliza acted about her webcomic and how so much of her being is put into making sure her fans get at least a page everyday and being online to talk about a TV show. Eliza felt very real to me, and I really liked her and I am not one to be a fan of contemporary main characters.
I have to say, my favourite character would have to be Max, purely because of the fact that he was Canadian. What can I say I am usually always a fan of Canadians, it is just ingrained into my brain. I also really like Emmy as well, she was such a wonderful friend, and I can't express how much I love seeing them interact with Eliza.
The chapter where Eliza got the letter back from her favourite author whose name is not in my notes so I have no idea who the hell she is. Anyways, I found that letter very inspiring.
