    Summary

    Tobacco products taste like people.
    Some of them are very different, others are pretty similar. Some leave a pleasant feeling behind, and others make you want to throw up.
    Mike Wheeler lights up a Marlboro Red, and tastes Will Byers on his tongue instead.

    or

    Vecna is dead, and life must go on for everyone — except storyteller. Mike Wheeler is alone in New York, a gap year wasted in Hawkins behind him and the weight of the world in his chest.
    College corridors burn with lives he cannot touch, and everyone’s faces blur — except one. Will Byers, sharp, distant, and impossible, is there too, for some reason, and he seems determined to make sure Mike never forgets what a whiny bitch he is.
    Between the crush of voices, the suffocating sunlight, and thoughts that bite too deep, Mike must survive a semester of lectures, Will, who has much changed, and himself.
