Unnecessary Drama

- Blurb -

From the author of the much-loved It Sounded Better In 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 everyone' s birthdays, but also organises the group present, pays for it, and politely chases others for their share. She' s the helper, the doer, the guarder-of-drinks, the minder-of-bags, the maker-of-spreadsheets. She' s the responsible one who always follows the rules-and she plans to keep it that way during her first year of university. Her new share house is rules-lite. But ' no unnecessary drama' 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. They' ll simply silently endure living together and stay out of each other' s way. But it turns out Jesse isn' t 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.
