šla jsem do toho s tím, že to bude zamilovaná knížka plná výher a splněných přání, ale pro mé překvapení to vážně nebylo jen o tomto. jsem ráda, že byl příběh pojatý vcelku realisticky - konec knihy jsem ocenila, protože se (sice okrajově, ale přece) zabýval anxiety disorder, což je důležité. syndrom vyhoření se tam taky řešil, pokud jsem to správně pochopila. další veliký plus je za to, jak nádherně a rychle se četla. přečetla jsem jí za 4 dny, což je fakt neskutečný, když vezmu v potaz to, že jsem měla skoro rok čtecí krizi. samotný příběh byl fajn, ne něco, co bych chtěla číst pořád, ale zajímavý v tom, že se člověk může podívat za oponu autorů takovýchto fanfikcí nebo komiksů, což jsem ještě nikde - kromě snad Fangirl - neviděla.

4/5
doporučuji, je to zajímavé, ale spíše průměrné.

I honestly really like this book I read it for the first time in 2017 a few months after it came out and I remember loving it back then. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece but it's a pretty good book and a light read.

Shit. Okay. Hang on. This made me smile. This made me 
  really
; even giddy at some point. I'm happy to have read this. I'm happy to have known Eliza Mirk and the world she is in and the world she created.

WHAT THE HELL !!! I WANT MORE!!
I loved it!! what have i been doing all this time? 
Oh Eliza and her monsters, well am sure "her monsters" means "her fans" but my mind isn't acceptng it. So her monsters would be her art, her characters, and i fucking love them!! Her webcomic story wasn't that clear in the book but i loved it, really.
And Eliza ? i loved her, even though she kinda overreact sometimes but i was having a lack of drama these days so that was okay, good even.
I loved how she loves her work aand how she doesn't want to let her fans down by any way. That's how the authors are too, right?
Well, i love it, that's all you need to know. You will love it when you read it too. I hope.

I LOVED THIS. It reminded me a lot of Radio Silence, which is one of my favourite books. I always enjoy fandom centric books so of course I liked this. Eliza was a really well written, fleshed out character and her struggles were so relatable. I had so much fun reading this, but the ending was overall too vague for my liking, and there was some dragging 3/4 through hence the 4 star not 5 rating. But still a fucking good book

           Oof, I don't like to be negative, but seeing how much everyone raves about this book set high expectations that were not met in my opinion. First half of the book was dreadful. I hated Eliza. The way she treated her family was so uncalled for. Unfortunately this made it hard to empathize with her since the beginning. The only saving grace of this book was second half Wallace and Sully, and Eliza's small redemption. It was a good story, but the execution made the reading experience not that enjoyable.

“A love letter to fandom, friendship, and the stories that shape us, Eliza and Her Monsters is absolutely magical.”—Marieke Nijkamp, New York Times–bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends Eighteen-year-old Eliza Mirk is the anonymous creator of the wildly popular webcomic Monstrous Sea, but when a new boy at school tempts her to live a life offline, everything she’s worked for begins to crumble. Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl meets Noelle Stevenson’s Nimona in this acclaimed novel about art, fandom, and finding the courage to be yourself. “A must-have.”—School Library Journal In the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, and friendless. Online, Eliza is LadyConstellation, anonymous creator of a popular webcomic called Monstrous Sea. With millions of followers and fans throughout the world, Eliza’s persona is popular. Eliza can’t imagine enjoying the real world as much as she loves her digital community. Then Wallace Warland transfers to her school and Eliza begins to wonder if a life offline might be worthwhile. But when Eliza’s secret is accidentally shared with the world, everything she’s built—her story, her relationship with Wallace, and even her sanity—begins to fall apart. With pages from Eliza’s webcomic, as well as screenshots from Eliza’s online forums, this book will appeal to fans of Noelle Stevenson’s Nimona and Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl.

           I enjoyed the book but towards the end, I didn’t like Wallace’s insensitive response to Eliza’s obvious depression. I love how Eliza’s brothers stood up for her with their parents tho - v heartwarming

Haley Murray

Was loving it until the love interest starts acting like a horrible person.

Fátima

4.5 en realidad. Realmente me encantó este libro, pero ese pequeño momento en el que Wallace me decepcionó un poco, impide que le dé las 5 estrellas.
