Unnecessary Drama

By Nina Kenwood
Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the award-winning author of It Sounded Better in My Head comes 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 everyone’s birthdays, but also organizes the group present, pays for it, and politely chases others for their share. She’s the helper, the doer, 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 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. 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.

With Unnecessary 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.

Expressionless Face“This book was a struggle to get through from start to finish. The FMC was incredibly frustrating, and her actions and decisions made it hard to connect with her. I kept hoping the story would improve, but it never did. I honestly can’t believe I pushed myself to finish it.”
“Rom-com perfetta se chiede a me, ho trovato tutto ciò che amo nei libri di questo genere. È scorrevole e cattura dalla primissima pagina, mai noioso e i personaggi sono molto realistici, mi sono rivista molto in Brooke e la sua ansia, il suo bisogno di avere il controllo su ciò che la circonda, poi Jesse un cuore di panna. Dalla trama mi ispirava ma non avevo altissime aspettative, credevo che sarebbe stato carino e nulla di più e invece entra a mani basse nella lista delle mie rom-com libresche preferite. Se come me avete amato libri come Better Than The Movies vi piacerà anche questo (N.B. i personaggi vanno al collegge e non al liceo). Bene, ho finito, andate a leggerlo.”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Ho adorato dalla prima all’ultima pagina! Veramente una bella romcom, super piacevole. Mai mi sono sentita così tanto rappresentata da un personaggio come con Brooke. All’inizio questa cosa mi innervosiva anche un po’ perché mi sono resa conto di quanto sono fastidiosa per niente a volte e nei primi capitoli i suoi pensieri erano mooooolto pesanti. Mi sono affezionata molto a tutti i personaggi alla fine, ero quasi dispiaciuta di finirlo. Menzione d’onore per Jesse, uno dei migliori book boyfriend per me 🩵”
