Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted slow-paced

4.5

Kamila Knows Best is the first book I’ve read by Farah Heron and I loved it! It’s a delightful and funny contemporary romance but it’s also so much more. This book is a nuanced character study that explores the factors that make us who we are, with a focus on the societal and parental pressures and expectations put on South Asian daughters. It’s also about finding people who see you for who you truly are and how the expectations other people place on you can cloud your own sense of self. Kamila is such a loving character with amazing friends, and it touched my heart to read about a group of people who are so compassionate and caring with each other. Rohan, the love interest, is the best and his chemistry with Kamila kept me smiling and laughing. 
 
This book also features queer relationships and mental health discussions, which made it even better. Pick this up for a lighthearted book with wonderful friendships, intriguing drama, a loving central romance, and of course, cute dogs.
