That Stranger Things book is wild af. Making me feel so much emotions at once. Still gonna read it tho. As every victim has a different mindset. There is no such thing as a victim mindset because every victim is different. She's 12 at the moment, which literally still means she's still too young to understand what is going on. I don't really feel like it's romanticised tho. And I can also understand how you feel. I wrote a book similar to this for a school competition and it didn't get marked even though we were told to write about anything. There must just be no swearing obviously. And, I wrote a warning at the beginning of the book. I even said if it gets too uncomfortable, you can always put it down. But no, it didn't get sent in even though I worked around 5 long months on it.
But anyways. PLEASE COME BACK TO THE BOOK-
