Summary
Sequel to Judith's Head.
Will Byers may not have been Mike Wheeler's first kiss, first time, or first boyfriend, but he was his first best friend. Being best friends is the greatest thing two people can possibly be. First kisses, first times, first boyfriends are fleeting. Best friends are for life.
Of course, Will is finally his boyfriend now, and it's really awesome. Mike has never been happier. Truly. He's so happy that all the pain, self-hatred, resentment, and regret seem trivial. Because they are boyfriends now. It's everything he's ever wanted, even when he didn't want to want it one bit.
To maintain the perfection of the present, Mike tries not to think about the past. Like how much he hated himself for being different, El's decision to take her own life, all the guys he’s been with, and on his worst days, of Will. It's so rare when it happens that it's not worth mentioning.
But when it does, it hurts like hell.
Or: Mike is finally ready to tell the story he could never tell, even when it comes to Will.
