New country. New school. New life. Same old heartbreak. After losing her parents, Australian Y/N moves to Hawkins, Indiana, hoping to find a fresh start. Between culture shocks, confusing American slang, and the chaos of Hawkins High, the last thing she expects is to find herself drawn to Steve Harrington. He's nursing a heartbreak of his own, hiding behind sarcastic remarks and an effortless grin. She's determined to keep her grief buried beneath humour and a thick Australian accent. Neither is looking for love. Neither is ready to let someone in. But somewhere between unlikely friendships, late-night conversations, and feelings neither dares to name, two strangers begin to recognise the hurt in each other. Falling in love is the easy part. Learning to heal, trust, and let someone stay? That's a different story.
