Kamila Hussain’s life might not be perfect, but, whew, it’s close. She lives a life of comfort, filled with her elaborate Bollywood movie parties, a dog with more Instagram followers than most reality stars, a job she loves, and an endless array of friends who clearly need her help finding love. In fact, Kamila is so busy with her friends’ love lives, she’s hardly given any thought to her own . . .

Fortunately, Kamila has Rohan Nasser. A longtime friend of the family, he’s hugely successful, with the deliciously lean, firm body of a rock climber. Only lately, Kamila’s “harmless flirting” with Rohan is making her insides do a little bhangra dance.

But between planning the local shelter’s puppy prom, throwing a huge work event, and proving to everyone that she’s got it all figured out, Kamila isn’t letting herself get distracted—until her secret nemesis returns to town with an eye for Rohan. Suddenly, it seems like the more Kamila tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel—and her perfectly ordered life is about to be turned upside down.

I like Accidentally Engaged a lot so I really want to read this book! :) Kamila is a nice person and highly likable. I like her group of friends and family too. Not every character has to have a family complex and brood all the time over it. :) A fun and interesting book!

Thanks to the publisher for providing an arc.

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.
