Stranger Things: Runaway Max by Brenna Yovanoff

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I must unfortunately come to the terrifying conclusion that Max Mayfield is me and I am Max. The only flaw is that I can't skateboard but I keep trying to rectify it. It's a bit more "plot of the show from an alternate perspective" for my tastes, but Max's perspective is a good and useful one, so I let it slide. Also her internal monologue cuts in with a lot of flashbacks to how she ended up Like This. (Her dad being a bored, bookie? incredible)
....

This books still makes me want to study Billy Hargrove like a bug. I must come to the conclusion that this is indeed my toxic trait.
