Unnecessary Drama

De: Nina Kenwood

Narrado por: Maddy Withington

"With clear enunciation and an emotive tone, Withington captures the story's humor, as well as Brooke's personality, especially her anxiety. The slight variance in voices is just enough to differentiate the characters. Romance fans, regardless of age, will enjoy this production."—AudioFile

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The enemies-to-lovers trope is a popular romance trope. And Kenwood makes it great fun. She also writes cracking dialogue and authentic relationships. You'll fall in love with Brooke and Jesse, of course. But you'll also fall for this novel's entire cast of characters. A cracking YA rom-com."—INreview

"Kenwood has found the ideal balance in tone between light-hearted and joyful, anxious and real, heart-warming and hopeful. This is a fun and deeply enjoyable YA rom-com about moving out and growing up, with a sweet enemies-to-lovers arc alongside the coming of age."—Arts Hub

"This is one of the most hilarious books I have read in a very long time. . . . The scenes between her and her ex-friend-turned-housemate-turned-romantic interest Jesse are pure magic and an absolute delight to read. Enjoy the banter, prepare to relate to some wonderful characters and don’t forget to keep the tissues handy to wipe away those tears of laughter and joy."—Readings
