Kamila Knows Best

by Farah Heron

🎧Narrated by Soneela Nankani

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Jane Austen novels were the gateway to my love of romance!

Kamila lives with her father and works for his accounting firm. She loves her dog, planning parties and setting up her friends. But she is so much more!!! She takes care of her father, she volunteers, she is always going above and beyond for those she loves… including her family fried, Rohan. She’s known Rohan’s since she’s been a child… he’s one of the most comforting presences in her and her father’s lives… what will she do if he gets together with her old frienamy who’s back in town???

I absolutely loved matching up the characters with their Emma counterparts. I had a few moments of surprise… that I kicked myself over later when I compared it to the original. This was an impressive retelling. Farah has brought Emma to modern time but has kept all the parts that make it great. I think the placement of the characters within the Muslim culture really helped add the structure needed to create such a true retelling, while also modernizing and freshening up the story!

🎧I listened to the audiobook and absolutely loved narrator, Soneela Nankani. She brought Kamila to life for me! The quality of the audio, including the addition of a few sound effects, link a text notification, made me feel as if I was listening to a full theatrical production of the story… 🤔 that totally has me thinking that Kamila would make a great movie!🎥 (just putting that thought out into the universe😉)

Overall I just adored Kamila & Rohan (and all their friends 🥰) and their sweet friends to lovers romance.

Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron was released March 8th, 2022.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Publishing through NetGalley and the audiobook from Hachette Audio. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
