Okay so I rarely read books in one sitting but "Eliza and her monsters" is one of these books. And for like the first 250/300 Pages I absolutely adored it. Eliza is a great character and I found it to be so interesting to read about her Web comic and her online friends. I LOVED how online friendship was treated in this book, it was very refreshing to read. I also did love Elizas Family. Her parents were exhausting at first and I got a hell lot of second hand embarrassment when they revealed Elizas secret in a freaking newspaper article oh my god. But in the end it becomes very clear that they just tried to do their best and that all of this mess happened due to lack of communication - from both sides. Elizas brothers were amazing too! I loved them. Especially in the end. Uhm and now to Wallace. I liked him a lot. This strange kid that only speaks sometimes. The football player who writes fanfiction and has memorized every single line of "Monstrous Sea". But oh boy. Oh boy did I started to hate him in the end. Everything that seemed great about him ... just disappaered. He seemed so selfish in the end and blamed Eliza for things that were totally out of her reach. He can't pay college but she can because she worked for it. For years. And now it's her fault that he can't??? What the hell. Also it's her story???? He shouldn't even be paid to publish it in the first place. God. That made me quite angry because... wasn't he supposed to be like 18? He acted like a whiny little brat who didn't get their chocolate. Oh my god. Initially I wanted to rate this book 5 Stars. Now I am not even sure if it get's 4. I do had a lot of fun reading it. I do loved the online friends rep. I loved the illustrations and the message behind the story. But the last 100 pages was a massive let down and I am mostly feeling disappointed right now. So 3,5
