Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy contemporary romance with a witty, self-aware protagonist who's genuinely finding her footing in the real world.
  • You like the tension of forbidden romance with a power imbalance that's aware of itself and handled with care.
  • You want escapism that feels grounded: messy roommates, burnt dinners, and a love story that earns its heat.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your romances free of any workplace or student-teacher dynamics, even consensual ones.
  • You prefer protagonists who arrive fully formed rather than ones actively learning and making mistakes.
  • You're looking for heavy angst or dark themes; this is lighter, more playful contemporary romance.

About this book

A woman leaves her privileged upper-class background on impulse, determined to build a new life despite lacking practical skills—she has no car, was fired from her first job, and cannot cook without incident. She moves in with three roommates in an eccentric neighborhood and enrolls in an adulting club at college to learn essential life skills. When she attends her first meeting, she encounters her economics professor, and her focus shifts from learning practical abilities like changing a tire or filing taxes to other forms of education she hopes he might provide. Unsupervised is the first book in the Friends to Family series and can be read as a standalone novel.
