Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood

 guys 😭😭😭😭😭😭 help😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am so emotional over this. tbh I only picked it up because my library had the audiobook and I saw that it was set in melb and I'm missing home a bit🥺🥺 it seemed like an easy read to help me get over my reading slump and I thought the premise was interesting but if I'm being real I expected it to be fun but not anything extraordinary because I'm not usually a YA contemporary girlie but guys 😭😭😭😭😭 I laughed, I cried, I had an emotion breakdown at 4am while Jacinta was sleeping next to me because I just connected to the main character so much, I genuinely can't believe that this book was written about me!!! this was just the perfect coming of age story, I really love seeing coming of age stories set after high school and dealing with the confusion and heartache from moving on and going to uni and trying to make new friends and be a good student and take care of your family and guys🥲🥲🥲🥲 just🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 the familial relationships just felt so real, the friendships felt so real, the conflicts felt so real, the relationship and it's ups and downs felt so real, everything brooke thought about or did FELT SO REAL. I love my main girl brooke and you could really see her emotions and build up to her explosion (thank god we have some insane girl representation in books😻😻😻😻) I love how she felt like an actual person (...felt like me I mean....) and I truly understood every action she took, even when she was acting irrationally I could see exactly WHY she did everything she did. and not only did the author manage to do this with the main character which is, to be frank is quite difficult in contemporary YA sometimes if you want to keep things interesting (I mean look at never have I ever and stuff like that😭😭), she did this with every single other character! even though this is a single pov story I understood the motivations and core of every single character and their relationship with brooke (HER AND LAURENS RELATIONSHIP OMGGG😭😭😭😭) how did she do it make me love along them??? I think this is going in my list of comfort reads and I can't wait to buy a physical copy and reread it many times over😊😊😊😊 5 stars!!
