 This is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma, filled with great characters and some laugh out loud moments. I had so much fun connecting the similarities to the original Emma (and of course Clueless, which is also a retelling). Heron did an amazing job creating a smart, sassy, and independent woman. She is fiercely loyal to her father and friends. I loved that she is serious about her work as an accountant who helps small businesses but also cares about fashion and her hair. Once again, Farah Heron’s food descriptions in this book had me 🤤 and I need to find some biryani soon. She also didn’t stick to food, puppies, and romance but dove into some deeper topics that added depth to the story. This friends to lovers romance is filled with fantastic banter, clean, sexual tension, and the message of not only taking care of other but remembering to take care of ourselves.
