In the real world, Eliza Mirk would be considered an introvert. She doesn't really like talking to people or being in social situations. Eliza feels the most comfortable in anonymity as the author of the hugely popular webcomic Monstrous Sea. So when new kid in school Wallace Warland shows up, Eliza's comfortable routine is thrown out of orbit as she discovers that she likes spending time with Wallace and that he is also is a superfan of Monstrous Sea. When Eliza's secret is exposed she struggles with suddenly being thrust into the spotlight and what it means to do things for yourself as opposed to the expectation of others. 
 I really loved the way Francesca Zappia represents Eliza's anxieties in dealing with people one-on-one. I loved the bond that she forms with Wallace, who himself has his own things to work through, as she tries to keep her secret yet build a relationship. 
 On the other side of that we have Eliza's online self LadyConstellation. Her talent is undisputable, and she thrives in an atmosphere where she can be the queen of her domain, so to speak, without having to face people. She still has people that she's formed actual friendships with online, regardless of what her parents may think. But there's another side to this in that, on a certain level, Eliza feels a certain responsibility to the fans of her webcomic, and not letting down the community that has supported her for the years it has taken for her to build up her story. But at what point does this responsibility damage her art? 
 Just some very interesting ideas represented in the story, and I loved the way it was all brought together. Some of Eliza's struggles were things that I could recognize in myself and if I have to guess they are things that are more common in society than we might think especially as the internet and online forums are more predominant forms of communication. 
 So far with this book and her debut Made You Up, Francesca Zappia solidified herself in my eyes as an author that delivers very heartfelt stories and tackles some very pertinent subjects in a way that makes them accessible to everyone. I really look forward to seeing what she does next.
