Description：

Evan Brooks has one goal: survive college without getting murdered by his roommate.

Unfortunately, his roommate is Jace Walker—a six-foot-three campus athlete with a lethal stare, a bad habit of watching Evan way too closely, and a mood that only seems to improve when Evan puts a banana directly into his mouth.

What starts as a desperate peacekeeping tactic turns into a daily routine neither of them can explain. Jace criticizes Evan's clothes, steals his shirts, scares off other people, and acts weirdly possessive whenever Evan gives anyone else attention. Evan is convinced it all means one thing: Jace absolutely cannot stand him.

The problem? The more time they spend together, the harder that theory is to believe. Jace keeps showing up for him, taking care of him, and looking at him like Evan is something he wants and doesn't know how to ask for. Meanwhile, Evan's own feelings are getting impossible to ignore. His heart races, his thoughts spiral, and his anonymous late-night chats about his "roommate problem" start sounding a little too personal.

Caught between panic, attraction, and one very confusing banana ritual, Evan has to figure out whether he's imagining everything—or whether the roommate he fears might actually want him back. Because if he reads Jace wrong, he'll lose more than his dorm room peace. He might lose his first real shot at love.
