It has been a year since Sofie Byers fled Hawkins Lab. Covered in bruises and mind scattered with terrifying events. Sofie has worked towards moving on and loving the person she was forced to become, but struggles knowing that even though Dr. Martin Brenner is dead; she remains a test subject for the new doctors and scientists of Hawkins Lab. There is something eerie about Hawkins this time of year. Something just isn't right. Is it the atmosphere of Hawkins, or the awful tension between Sofie and Steve?
(This book is based only on the events of Season 2! I do not own any of the characters besides Sofia!)
This is the sequel to "Steve's Girl"! I hope you all enjoy it!

// HEAD OVER HEELS //
Steve Harrington has made a lot of mistakes. He's said the wrong things at the worst times, has tried to be the one everyone wants him to be. But he's spent too long pretending to be someone he's not: the confident guy, the heartbreaker, the one who has it all together. But nothing has thrown him off balance like Lauren Henderson. She's guarded, unpredictable, and so painfully honest with him that it makes his chest ache. She calls him out when he's trying too hard, sees through every defense he puts up, and somehow manages to make him feel like he's not just the screwup with good hair. For someone who supposedly doesn't care, Lauren Henderson is the biggest people-pleaser. After her father left, she's always wanted to be better, so that maybe one day he'd actually want her. She's friendly, easy to talk to, always saying the right thing to get people to like her. That's all she can do. But deep down, she feels everything too deeply. Every emotion that teens feel on the daily is how Lauren feels, amplified by three thousand. So when she starts catching feelings for the boy who let her in, everything she built herself upon starts to crumble beneath her. They weren't supposed to care. Not like that at least, but feelings have a way of showing up uninvited. Especially in a town like Hawkins. Between parent problems, unsaid things, and the fear of being too much (or not enough), Lauren and Steve find themselves wrapped up in the supernatural chaos that hides between Hawkins' cracks. In this heart racing story, join Lauren and Steve on their adventures with alternate dimensions and monsters they never believed they'd ever have to face. Watch how even in the midst of it all, they find themselves doing exactly what they promised themselves they would never do. Falling head over heels for one another.

Follow her through Hawkins' mysteries where feelings for 'douchebag' Steve Harrington prove more intricate than anticipated.

HONEY HONEY | s. harrington
HONEY KLINE wasn't supposed to care. Not when Will Byers vanished. Not when the random sophomore, Barb, disappeared. Not when Steve Harrington, the boy she loathed on principle, started showing up in all the wrong places at all the wrong times, usually looking irritatingly good and far too concerned. But Hawkins, Indiana had a way of pulling you in. Monsters, cover-ups, flickering lights, secret labs... and a gnawing guilt that maybe, just maybe, Honey saw the creature that started it all...and said nothing. Now she's knee-deep in government lies, haunted by what she knows and what she can't say, tangled in a mess of grief, secrets, and unresolved feelings for the last boy she should be thinking about. As the town spirals and the truth claws its way to the surface, Honey is forced to confront what she saw, what she's willing to fight for, and what she's terrified to feel. Because somewhere between champagne birthdays and blood-soaked swords, she might be falling for Steve Harrington..and that was never part of the plan.
