She's looking for a fresh start, time to heal from years of abuse and manipulation she faced in her marriage. Fix some of her own personal problems. Maybe flirt a little with the cute Detective she keeps meeting.
But Hawkins is filled with horrors she can't begin to imagine, and before long, Max gets dragged into the very heart of these terrors.
Because there's no escaping what the upside down has in store for her.

Summary
A year after the gates to the Upside Down have closed, Eddie Munson has graduated, he has a job, friends, and the summer holidays ahead of him while he figures out what he wants to do with his life. He's still trying to settle back into normal life, the pain and trauma of everything he'd been through still weighing on him, and when he looks around him, it feels like everyone has moved on.
Steve Harrington didn’t expect to become Eddie’s anchor. After taking in Max, helping her recover in the wake of Vecna’s attack, and trying to hold his own shattered pieces together, Steve's found purpose in showing up — for her, for Dustin, and now, somehow, for Eddie too.

Summary
Max was so sure of her death she knew she had to do something before it was too late. She was never good at expressing herself verbally, opening up that is...so these letters would have to do the trick. There was just too much she needed to say to her friends that she would never be able to say to their faces without falling apart completely. So these would have to do.

Things start to slowly go back to normal for the Hawkins gang. Injuries start to heal and bodies recover from the pain that Venca left in his wake. Of course, not all the pain was physical.

While rewinding tapes at work, he finds himself counting down the minutes to get back home to where Eddie is recovering. Meanwhile, Eddie is having a hard time understanding why anyone, especially Steve, would care about him considering how much of a burden he is on everyone. He soon finds himself looking forward to when Steve comes home from work, listening for the sound of his car pulling into the driveway. After a couple of weeks, the boys fall into a comfortable rhythm, becoming a placeholder in each other’s lives. They soon realize that life is a lot better when you have someone to come home to.
