'Fall in love with this feel-good romance about the first messy, chaotic steps into adulthood, from the author of It Sounded Better in My Head

'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 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 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. 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.' (Publication summary)
