While You Were Seething Author: Charlotte Stein Genre: Contemporary Romance / Romantic Comedy Book Rating: ⭐ 8.5/10 Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 4/5 Description For Alice, books have always been the safest place to hide. A lifelong lover of stories and quiet corners, she prefers fictional romances to real-life complications. But when circumstances force her into close proximity with someone she absolutely cannot stand, her carefully ordered world starts to unravel. Caleb is infuriating. Sharp-tongued, frustratingly confident, and far too good at pushing Alice’s buttons, he seems to thrive on their constant arguments. Every conversation turns into a battle of wit, sarcasm, and simmering irritation. Yet beneath the tension lies something neither of them expected. The more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore the undeniable chemistry sparking between them. What begins as irritation slowly transforms into curiosity—and then into something far more dangerous. Because sometimes the line between hatred and attraction is thinner than anyone wants to admit. And the person who drives you the most insane might just be the one who understands you best. Tropes / Mood Enemies to lovers • bookish romance • witty banter • forced proximity • slow burn tension • opposites attract • spicy rom-com
