Everyone knows Steve Harrington.
And if they know Steve, they probably know his little sister, Lacey.
She's popular, pretty, sarcastic when she wants to be, and somehow manages to get along with almost everyone at Hawkins High. She's got her own friends, her own life, and one very important rule:
Don't let Steve find out about Mike Wheeler.
Because Mike Wheeler isn't supposed to be her boyfriend.
He's supposed to be her childhood best friend. The awkward kid she's known since they were little. The boy she's grown up riding bikes with, arguing with, studying with, and spending almost every summer with.
But somewhere along the way, things changed.
Now they're sneaking around, meeting behind closed doors, stealing kisses when nobody's looking, and pretending there's absolutely nothing going on between them.
Nobody knows.
Not Steve.
Not Dustin.
Not Lucas.
Not Max.
Nobody.
But keeping a secret in Hawkins has never been easy.
Especially when strange things are happening again.
There's something wrong beneath Starcourt Mall. People are disappearing. The Fourth of July is getting closer. And while Mike and Lacey are trying to figure out how to keep their relationship hidden, Hawkins is slowly becoming more dangerous than either of them realizes.
Because this summer isn't going to be normal.
And Lacey Harrington is about to discover that some secrets are much harder to keep than others.
1985. Hawkins. One secret. And a whole lot of trouble.
