  Summary

  Mike Wheeler— or Michael Wheeler—a young teenager of sixteen years, is used to suppress his feelings and hide them. He struggles to find a true meaning to the word “love” and feels really hopeless. But once the love avalanche suddenly hits him straight into his face, he realizes that he’s really bad at hiding his romantic feelings. Especially when it comes to falling in love with Will Byers.
