This is my first book by author Farah Heron and it was such a delight to get lost in her captivating story plot and well built characters.. I loved the way Kamila and Rohan came together,fun and complicated as it was.I'm always on the search for sharp, witty rom-coms, and this one definitely fits the bill.

Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron is an excellent contemporary romcom that kept me entertained from beginning to end.

I really enjoyed the author’s previous book, Accidentally Engaged, so I knew I had to check this out.

I really enjoyed the main character: Kamila Hussain. She has got it all going on. She is a strong, smart and sassy woman (yet respectful in regards to her family) that is successful from a professional standpoint, yet not as confident in the relationship department. Especially when it comes to her growing attraction to family friend Rogan Nasser. The foundations of friendship and loyalty are there, the chemistry is bubbling under the surface, yet her uncertainty and surprising lack of confidence (maybe the secret fear of rejection and losing her friendship as well) keeps this otherwise go-getter from seizing the moment.

It isn’t until an arch nemesis returns to town and adds some speed bumps that Kamila decides to look within, reassess her flaws and what she wants out of life, and takes the necessary adjustments needed to go all in. I love the growing up that this likable and imperfect character experiences during the course of the novel that helps make her so endearing to me. Characters that are able to grow, adapt, and change for the better are always personal favorites.

I also like the progression of Kamila and Rohan as a couple as well. Friends to romantic partners are always a hit with me and I can tell that they work well together.

The dialogue was entertaining, light, and fun. The pacing was smooth and on point, and the characters were well-thought out and multi-layered.

I immensely enjoyed this book and highly recommend.

3.5 stars rounded up

As a big fan of Accidentally Engaged, I was eager to devour this book in the same way. While easily digestible, the romance wasn’t as well integrated into the overall plot. I think the book would have been just as good, maybe better, if it solely focused on Kamila’s professional journey. It didn’t feel like the romance was a necessary aspect.

Thank you to netgalley and Farah Heron for the earc This book was so good. I really liked Kamila and how she had such great relationships with all her friends and it made me wish I had friends to have something like her Bollywood and Biryani parties with and I also liked her relationship with her father even if there were things to do with her father and how he viewed that I didn't like but I liked how that conflict was resolved and I really liked the slow burn of her relationship with Rohan. I liked how they started out as friends and slowly turned into more though I thought maybe they could've communicated a little bit better. I also loved Rohan he's definitely my favourite Farah Heron love interest yet, I also loved how Kamila's love for her job and fashion were weaved beautifully into the story and I loved her pooch Darcy and I liked how her enemy Jana turned into an ally near the end of the book. Overall it was a very sweet well written book that I fully recommend checking out when it releases on March 8, 2022
