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‚Äôs birthdays, but also organises the group present, pays for it, and politely chases others for their share. She‚Äôs the helper, the doer, the guarder-of-drinks, the minder-of-bags, the maker-of-spreadsheets. She‚Äôs the responsible one who always follows the rules‚Äîand 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‚Äôll simply silently endure living together and stay out of each other‚Äôs way. But it turns out Jesse isn‚Äôt 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.
