Unnecessary Drama
Unnecessary Drama | Nina Kenwood
3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
From the author of the much-loved It Sounded Better It My Head comes a deliciously entertaining new rom-com, set in a run-down student share house in Melbourne. Eighteen-year-old Brooke is the kind of friend who not only remembers everyones birthdays, but also organises the group present, pays for it, and politely chases others for their share. Shes the helper, the doer, the guarder-of-drinks, the minder-of-bags, 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 university. Her new share house only has one rule: no unnecessary drama. Which means no fights, tension, or romance between housemates. When one of her housemates turns out to be Jesse, her high-school nemesis, Brooke is nervously confident 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... Channelling the screwball comedy of New Girl with an enemies-to-lovers twist, Unnecessary Drama is a joyful story about leaving home, dealing with the unexpected complications of life, and somehow finding exactly what you need.

Even though I‘m not the target audience, this generally lighthearted YA novel was entertaining enough that Nina Kenwood‘s debut novel (also YA) is now on my TBR list. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#unnecessary-drama

Publication is expected August 8.

Brooke and Jesse used to be friends, but teenage awkwardness turned them into enemies, at least in Brooke‘s mind. When they move to the city to begin Uni and unexpectedly find themselves housemates they have to work out how to get along. It‘s YA, although not being marketed as such. I enjoyed it well enough and got a few laughs from it, but I didn‘t enjoy it as much as her first book. #ozfiction
