This is marketed as being for fans of Stranger Things, but I think this is bad marketing. Yes, it's about teens in the 80s and involves some supernatural elements, but it's a lot less adventurous than Stranger Things, the kids aren't gamers, and it has a split timeline between the characters as teens and as adults, and then some POV chapters from the main character's dad in the 80s. Although I see some people and sites tagging it as YA, it didn't read as such to me, more like a book for adults about teenagers. I know I would not have enjoyed it as a teen because I would have found there wasn't enough magic to balance the angst and drama. Which is not to say it was a bad book, but I'd say of the books I've read from this author, it's my least favorite.

Childhood friends to lovers. Second chance romance. Found family. Flashback scenes. Magic, music, and morally grey main characters. I love this book so much.
