Eliza and her monsters

Eighteen-year-old Eliza Mirk is the anonymous creator of the popular webcomic Monstrous Sea. While she thrives online as LadyConstellation, in the real world, she is shy, weird, and friendless. Eliza can’t imagine finding joy outside her digital community until new student Wallace Warland arrives, prompting her to consider a life offline. However, when her secret identity is accidentally revealed, everything she has built—her webcomic, her relationship with Wallace, and her mental well-being—starts to unravel. This acclaimed novel explores themes of art, fandom, and self-acceptance, appealing to fans of Noelle Stevenson and Rainbow Rowell. The unique format includes pages from Eliza’s webcomic and online forum screenshots, enhancing the reading experience. The paperback edition features bonus material and exclusive art from the author. Recognized as a Best Book by the Young Adult Library Services Association and a Top Ten Kirkus Best Book, this story is a heartfelt tribute to the power of creativity and connection.
