Summary
Mike Wheeler is aimless as he starts his senior year at Hawkins High. No goals for the future, a girlfriend he knows he can never love, and friends with grand plans that don’t include him. When Will Byers—Mike’s old babysitter and his childhood crush—returns home from college to teach art and humanities in Hawkins, Mike finds himself facing some truths about himself he's been trying to ignore, as he relearns what it’s like to really want something—to want someone.

Summary
“Signals?”
“Yeah, you know, like a brush of the knee, a bump of the elbow, a shared look. It all just kind of accrued, like a snowball rolling down a hill until it was obvious.”
“How obvious?”
“Well, let’s say the, uh, snowball became an avalanche.”

or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
