This is a book based on the television program. This book coincides with season two of the television series. It tells events from the side of Max. It also shows events in her life before she comes to live in Hawkins. This book is basically a character book for Max that fleshes out her character. EW. Max witnessing the Milkyway hug and claiming she has never seen anyone look as sure about someone as Mike. lmao S4 "wHo sAiD tHaT i diDn’T? / yOu'rE mY suPerHerO!" Mike is in your walls. Max naively hoping to become friends with Billy and to get along with him eventually… ugh, now I am sobbing again because of Dear Billy

Mike is such a hostile and petty bitch, though… ugh, I love my depressed repressed cringefail emo loser son Stranger things (каквато съм аз) - книгата проследява изтощителния мисловен процес в главата на мъжкараната Макс Мейфийлд от пристигането ѝ в Хокинс през събитията, развили се във втори сезон, без обаче да застъпва интересните места. Вместо това ще се убедите що за изрод е Били и защо не заслужава симпатиите на публиката. Max immediately comparing Will to her extremely queercoded best friend from California, I see what you’re doing (besides, WillMax is so underrated, I need more of them *snivels*) awwww Max gushing over Nancy and how fierce and pretty she looks… cute cute (bisexual awakening? maybe? hehe)ADHD!Max is real and valid (she's always been real and valid, but this book makes it veeeery explicit) Then Steve was in front of me, shoving me out of the way, squaring up with the bat like he'd face down the whole world and take a chunk out of it before he let anything get to us. Do tego tytuł (W oryginale: "Runaway Max"). Scena z ucieczką z domu była tak cholernie nie potrzebna, że chyba autorka dopisała ją już po skończeniu pisania książki, i wymyśleniu fajnego tytułu, żeby treść jakkolwiek do niego pasowała. Przynajmniej takie miałem wrażenie czytając ostatnie ¼ książki. PLATONIC MADWHEELER IS SO REAL THOUGH. Max is literally like: now that Mike and I have had our heart-to-heart in the gym we can finally become besties. And Mike is like: haha no :) Help my eyes got wet just from reading the first sentence cause I love Max so darn much and S4 BROKE ME

It's been a while since I saw season 2 of Stranger Things, so I liked returning to it in this book. Runaway Max is both a prequel of Max's life pre-Hawkins as well as her thoughts across the second season. I loved getting a deeper look into her mindset and her life before, especially her relationship with Billy. But I did like the writing in here, middle-grade as it was, and the greater emphasis given to Max's choices in season 2. It made me crave a sequel book about Max across seasons 3 and 4. excuuuuuse me… that random middle-aged lady trying to humiliate Max by stealing her diary wtffff is your problem, woman ???rounding my 3.5★ rating up to four stars even though it was a fairly average read and a pretty straightforward retelling of the events of S2 for the most part, and there really wasn’t much in there I could possibly use for my thesis, but I don’t care. I love Max and I love S2 and I am emotionaaaaaal😭😭😭

Max going "there are four dumbass boys lurking behind a building staring at me and whispering, thinking I can’t see them"… they are idiots, alright This book is season 2 as told through Max's eyes, which actually doesn't bug me as a concept. I liked delving into Max's home life and her thought process, and there were some really solid scenes. To be fair, the first half was really enjoyable. When Lucas and Dustin tried to help them up, though, Mike shrugged them off and put his arm around Will. No, generalnie była w ona totalnie nie potrzebna. Historia w niej przedstawiona jest dosłownie akcją 2 sezonu Stranger Things, tylko opowiedzianą z perspektywy chyba najnudniejszej postaci z tego sezonu - Max. low-key annoying that the dialogue is often copied one-to-one from the show… would have loved to see more detailed conversations

Lucas is presented as "nice," but nothing else. We actually get more emotional Mileven stuff in here than Lumax, which I thought was just.... odd. Isn't this about Max? Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to really focus on their relationship? One would think.
