1985 - steve harrington

it's the summer of '85. neon lights, new malls, and stranger things are hiding under the mall.

after a long summer as a camp counselor, brooke buckley returns to hawkins - sunburned, broke, and entirely unprepared to spend her nights scooping ice cream next to steve harrington, the guy who flirts like it's his full-time job and who once made her life hell. sharp-tongued, sarcastic, and not afraid to speak her mind, brooke quickly makes it clear she's not impressed by steve.

but between secret russians, flickering neon, and a boy with impossibly perfect hair, she discovers the weirdest thing about this summer might not be the monsters - it's the way steve manages to get under her skin.
