    Summary

    Mike Wheeler spends years trying to be “normal.”
    Normal son, normal friend, normal boyfriend, normal boy.

    But growing up with Will Byers — through disappearances, monsters, trauma, high school, and finally college — makes “normal” feel less and less like something he actually wants.

    This is the long, messy, painfully slow journey of Mike figuring himself out, losing himself, finding himself again, and realizing that the only thing that ever made sense — the only thing that ever felt right — was Will.
