   Summary

   Mike Wheeler has a simple plan: survive thirty days at Camp Lyre and prove—once and for all—that he is a perfectly normal, perfectly straight best friend.
   But denial is hard when Will Byers looks like a masterpiece Mike isn’t allowed to touch—all messy hair, honey-tanned skin, and a laugh that makes Mike’s heart do a desperate, tactical retreat.

   Between picking silent wars with anyone who looks at Will too long and using the hazy, alcohol-blurred hours of the night to inch closer than a (straight)best friend ever should, Mike is losing a battle he never declared.

   Or: Mike Wheeler is a counselor with his best friends while he’s stuck watching Will fall in love with everything at Camp Lyre—except him.
