From the award-winning author ofIt Sounded Better in My Headcomes a deliciously entertaining enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy about two high school nemeses who end up sharing a house together their first year of college
Eighteen-year-old Brooke is the kind of friend who not only remembers everyones birthdays, but also organizes the group present, pays for it, and politely chases others for their share. Shes the helper, the doer, the maker-of spreadsheets. Shes the responsible one who always follows the rulesand she plans to keep it that way during her first year of college.
Her student housing only has one rule: no unnecessary drama. Which means no fights, tension, or romance between roommates. When one of them turns out to be Jesse, her high-school nemesis, Brooke is determined she can handle it. Theyll simply silently endure living together and stay out of each others way. But it turns out Jesse isnt so easy to ignore.
WithUnnecessary Drama, Nina Kenwood perfectly captures the experience of leaving home for the first time, dealing with the unexpected complications of life, and somehow finding exactly what you need.
