Kamila Knows Best is a joyful take on Jane Austens’ Emma. It is simply a hilarious, unputdownable adventure. I loved Kamila’s character growth throughout the novel. Not only does she develop more self-awareness, she also sees for the first time how much hard work she has really put into herself and her goals. It was refreshing to see a character who is so committed to her personal and professional dreams. There is such a strong sense of family and friendship that ties the entire novel together. 

One of my favorite parts was the full-circle moment in inclement weather. It would truly be impossible to pick just one favorite scene, as the whole novel is filled with witty banter and lovable characters. And of course, puppies! In fact, a puppy prom! I would highly recommend this for readers seeking a hilarious friends-to-lovers adventure. Thank you so much to Farah Heron, Forever, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
