The tension?! The pining?! The pent up longing and poignant touches!! Charlotte Stein absolutely wrecked me with While You Were Seething. Daisy and Caleb have so much tension, from their background and history in college to their roadtrip and forced relationship. The whole book was so full of that build up, and I loved every second of it!!

You can’t go wrong with the combination of forced proximity and fake dating. We all love the one bed trope… but I think we need to add the one tent trope to that list!! Daisy and Caleb’s dynamic of two people with history and shared knowledge combined with their mutual dislike at the onset of this book truly was fantastic.

While You Were Seething hit so many of my favorite things in a good romance. I was so happy to see Daisy and Caleb’s dynamic morph into something beautiful. It’s one of those books where the epilogue hit just a little extra, and it was an absolute delight to read this book.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
