"You found me in a constellation."
"Eliza and Her Monsters" by Francesca Zappia is inspiring and monumental.
Offline, Eliza is shy, quirky, and lonely. Online, she's LadyConstellation, the anonymous creator of the popular webcomic "Monstrous Sea." She has no desire to put too much effort into the real world, no desire to make friends, no desire to try too hard at school. Why should she when her webcomic gave her the best friends she could ever ask for, a bright future, and a secret inflow of money (that's she's saving for college, mind you).
All that changes when a cute, new boy starts at their high school (cliche, but it works, right?). Wallace is possibly even more shy than Eliza. But he opens up to Eliza after she stands up to bullies for him. And she fears that he's "Monstrous Sea's" biggest fanfiction writer, an anonymous guy she's been flirting with online.
They draw each other out of their perspective shells. They open up to the real world. They start to fall in love.
When Eliza's biggest secret is accidentally shared with the world, she almost loses everything, including her sanity (depression and suicidal thoughts warning here).
Did I mention that it has pictures? Because it does.
