Summary
“Yes,” says Robin seriously. “Your love life is a 90s rom-com train wreck because You’ve Got Mail is my girlfriend’s favorite movie, and I’m God.”
“I knew it,” says Steve.
Steve’s falling in love with an anonymous astrology account, which would be the worst of his problems, if it weren’t for his girlfriend, who’s probably (definitely) cheating on him; his useless best friend, who is Not Helping; and Billy Hargrove, who hasn’t done anything wrong, specifically, but whose stupid hair and stupid face make everything gross and terrible all the time.

Summary
Billy's used to being afraid of his father, and he knows he's not the only one scared. But it's one thing to know your stepmother gets smacked around every once in a while and another thing completely to find her body on the bathroom floor.
He's a mess, Max is even more of a mess, and Joyce Byers is a queen among mothers, she really is.

Summary
It was hot as balls.
The sun beat down on Billy’s back as he rolled down the street, the air thick with sea salt and sweat.
If he got one more tourist telling him ’it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity!’ he was going to break his skateboard over their head.
He was going to be late, Max was going to bitch about her dinner if he didn’t hurry. He pushed against the curb to go a little faster, wind whipping his curls against his cheeks.
He was going to make it in time, the lights were on his side. He just had to hustle.
A whoosh of air and the whiny tones of Duran Duran were his only warning before a fucking BMW convertible whizzed by from behind. The hair and sunglasses driving the damn thing barely gave Billy a glance as he was knocked to the sidewalk with an angry shout.
He flipped the asshole off for good measure before checking his skinned elbow with a wince. Well, at least his board was okay. He couldn’t afford a new one right now.
He was definitely going to be late, too.
Fucking tourists.

Summary
It’s January 15, 1985. Max is in Hawkins, Indiana, 2,082 miles from Santa Monica, and in five hours she’ll be fourteen years old. At fourteen, you can be tried as adult. She knows because Billy’s told her, so many times.
It’s January 15, ninety-five days since the worst thing she’s ever done, but there isn’t any statute of limitations on that.
(Or, Max is miserable, Billy's in danger, and Steve just wants to help. A take on why Max and Billy moved to Hawkins in the first place, featuring too many 80's songs and also a love story, maybe two.)
