Hawkins, Indiana isn't the kind of town you escape to. It's the kind you get trapped in. At seventeen, Lily Hargrove has already learned how to survive a broken home. When her mother vanished years ago, she and her twin brother Billy were left alone with a father whose anger only grew sharper with time. Then came Susan Mayfield - and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Maxine. They've known Max since she was small. She grew up around them. Grew up watching. Listening. Learning when to stay quiet. But knowing someone doesn't mean understanding them. When Neil Hargrove decides to move the family from California to the sleepy town of Hawkins, Billy is furious. Lily is exhausted. And Max is caught in the middle - old enough now to see the cracks in their family clearly, but still young enough to hope things might get better. They won't. Hawkins feels wrong from the start. The woods stretch too far. The air feels too still. And at night, the darkness hums. Lily is the first to sense it - something watching from the tree line. Something that doesn't belong. A creature that moves like an animal but isn't one. A mouth full of teeth that opens like a nightmare unfolding. A sound that isn't a scream - but close enough. As strange disappearances shake Hawkins and rumors spread through the halls of Hawkins High, Lily and Max are pulled into a secret far bigger than their family drama - a tear in reality that threatens to swallow the town whole. Lily laughs, she cries, she smiles all because of that one specific person, Steve Harrington. In Hawkins, monsters don't just live in another dimension. Sometimes they live in your house. Sometimes they wear your father's face. And sometimes... they're waiting for you in the dark.

Like those tropes, then read Uptown Girl.

Hawkins, Indiana is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone-and secrets never stay buried. Seventeen-year-old Charlotte Hopper, better known as Lottie, has lived in Hawkins her entire life. After losing her little sister Sarah to cancer five years ago, her world has never quite been the same. Her mom left, and ever since, it's just been Lottie and her dad, Chief Jim Hopper, trying to hold their broken family together in their small trailer on the edge of town. Lottie learned early how to survive heartbreak. Funny, stubborn, and fiercely protective of the people she loves, Lottie refuses to let Hawkins High define her. She stands up for the bullied, especially her best friend Jonathan Byers-the town's favorite target. Most afternoons she escapes the drama of high school by babysitting the Wheeler kids, where Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Will see her as the cool older sister they never had. But Lottie has one problem she can't escape. Steve Harrington. A year ago, Steve was her boyfriend. Now he's the boy who broke her heart and chose popularity-and Nancy Wheeler-instead. Lottie hates everything about him now: King Steve, his stupid hair, and the way he acts like none of it mattered. She's determined to forget him. Until the night everything in Hawkins changes. When Will Byers suddenly disappears without a trace, the quiet town begins to unravel. As the search begins and strange things start happening in the shadows, Lottie finds herself pulled into a mystery far darker than anyone imagined. And the last person she wants to rely on... is Steve Harrington.
