Solitude - Eddie Munson

Charlotte "Charlie" Belladonna Hopper thought the nightmare ended when the Upside Down was sealed away. But life after monsters and mind flayers isn't as simple as she hoped. With her father, Chief Jim Hopper, trying to rebuild their lives in a world without constant danger, Charlie faces new battles-this time, in her own heart.

After catching her boyfriend, Jonathan Byers, cheating on her, Charlie's world spirals. Trust shattered, she finds herself drawn back to Eddie Munson, her wild and fearless childhood friend. Eddie, once a constant in her life, now feels like the only one who truly gets her-metalhead, misfit, and misunderstood.

With her closest friends-Steve, Robin, and her unlikely best friend Billy Hargrove-by her side, Charlie dives headfirst into a world of music, rebellion, and healing. But the Upside Down left scars deeper than anyone realized, and shadows from the past begin to creep back into Hawkins.

As Charlie navigates love, friendship, and the weight of her trauma, she must uncover if the ghosts of the Upside Down are truly gone-or if they've left something behind.
