The boy next door. The charming, confident, perfect guy with the perfect hair, and perfect smile. A subtle encounter, turns her toward Billy Hargrove, his fire and recklessness giving her something she didn't know she was missing. Grief strikes and Hawkins doesn't feel the same. She turns to her friends in the D&D basement, shutting out the world hand the people still waiting for her upstairs. Steve remains on the sidelines, always the hero, always there to pick up the pieces, and there when Eddie Munson slips in the spaces Billy left behind. And then there is Steve Harrington..

  • FEATHER | STEVE HARRINGTON

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.
