In the real world Eliza is smart, shy and a big mess! Online she is the one and only Lady Constellation and the author of the biggest web comic Monstrous Sea. This is her baby and she does everything she can to keep her identity secret. One day she meets a boy named Wallace and he is the biggest Monstrous Sea Fanfiction writer. They start dating and then when Eliza's identity is leaked out her world comes crashing down! 

Review: 
So, I have a tendency to start a book blind. Like I don't read the synopsis or anything like that I just go in blind and what happens happens. 
This story is amazing and I enjoyed it! Eliza is a normal teenager fixing to finish High School, going to college in the fall and everything but, she is also the author of one of the biggest webcomic fandoms there is. Eliza is also a BIG introvert, she doesn't really talk to other people at her school nor does she have any friends close to her except her online friends! She's not really close with her two brothers or her parents, her main focus is her webcomic baby Monstrous Sea. 
But, all of that changes when she sticks up to the bullies on the new kid, Wallace. Soon she discovers that he is a huge fan of the Monstrous Sea and that he even writes FANFIC about it. Her life seems to be going well, she has a boyfriend(Wallace) and her motivation and plans to finish the comic by the end of the school year are going great until it just wasn't. 
In an attempt to connect with her on a different level her parents outed her unintentionally. Suddenly, Eliza's life is turned upside down and she must face her monsters and come to terms with her new reality. In a way of self discovery and what's really important to her. 
I loved this book and this was the first that I have read from this author! I definitely will check out more from her! I loved the different styles of writing and the graphics included in the text! Definitely a great read!

My Review of Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones

​ Title: Sex Cult Nun  Author: Faith Jones  Published: November 30, 2021  Published by: William Morrow Books  Genre: True Crime/Memior  Pages: 400  Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Review:  I'm giving this book 5 stars. The reason for the five stars is the rawness and the transparency of this author that she went into the details that she knew would bother a lot of people, she went to the deepest and darkest times in her life and she put them on blast. She blasted her truth from the rooftops for not only herself but for everyone that is not able to share their truth.  This book has an abundance of disturbing and disgusting content and a lot of underage sexual abuse and rape. That is the part that is hard to read about, but her courage to share it and write it is very eye-opening. I did not agree with he whole sharing and polygamy but with each their own. I know I would not want to share my spouse with another person. The whole child abuse and sexual abuse...
