More accurately a 4.5 stars. I have no idea why I waited so long to read this book, but I am so happy I finally did! It's so good, y'all. I really liked the way the author explored creativity, depression and anxiety, I really liked the characters and I was totally sucked into the story. My main quibble is really specific to the last third of the story (because it made me decidedly uncomfortable), but otherwise, I thought this was such a compelling read.

Wow. This book was so good and I love how it covers different ideas. This story is about a girl named Eliza that must face her own monsters during a hard time. I appreciate how realistic this book was and how it portrayed topics that are sometimes hard to discuss. I never cry while reading books, but I'll admit that I did shed a few tears towards the end of the book. I cannot recommend this one enough! Definitely a must read.

I’m between a 4 and 4.5/5 for this book.
The author does a great job of capturing the emotions of the characters. It’s a unique twist on a classic storyline. However, there was a section of the book that I didn’t really like where I felt like Wallace was manipulating Eliza in some way.

I gave this book 4.5 I really enjoy this book. I had to grow and like Eliza character but that was kind of the point overall. I love how the story was told through writing, drawing, comics and web chats. It made the book seem like i was really in eliza head. She was a hard character to like at the start but at the end i really liked her. I did love wallace as well. It became a super fast pace novel and i hope to read more by this author in the future
4 stars - a solid contemporary of fandom and art.
