Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron

4.0

This is a really cute story! Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron is a modern-day retelling of Austen’s classic Emma. Kamila lives and works with her aging father. As his primary caretaker, his health is her number one concern, everything else comes second. As a result, Kamila spends most of her free time matchmaking her friends and living a life everyone expects her to live. But when her nemesis returns to town and with the potential of her best friend finding a love of his own, Kamila begins to examine what she really wants and needs.

I love Kam! She is such a fun character. She is loyal to a fault, a little flighty with above average smarts. I love how empathetic she is to everyone she meets. However her downfall comes in that she tries to fit everyone into a neat box within her own life. It doesn’t sit well with her family or friends, and eventually catches up to her.

Rohan is amazing. It’s easy to see from the reader perspective where his interests lie. I love his relationship with Kam. They compliment each other really well. But like her, he has a downside. I needed more of him
