Kamila Knows Best - by Farah Heron (Paperback)

About the Book

"For Kamila Hussain, life is good. She's got plenty of friends, a doting father, and her dog has more Instagram followers than most reality stars. But when she notices her longtime friend Rohan is spending much more time with another woman, Kamila wonders for the first time if a little self-improvement might be in order. First step: take her weekly Bollywood viewing parties to levels unreached, improving on the food, dâecor and guest list. Next, secure a prestigious event-planning role that will help further her own career. But it suddenly seems like the more she tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel. She'd always assumed that Rohan never saw beyond her matching dog sweaters and color-coordinated kitchen appliances. But is it possible Rohan always thought Kamila was more than enough, just the way that she was?"--

Book Synopsis

This slow burn romance featuring a hilarious puppy prom and delightful matchmaking schemes is "a fun, lighthearted binge from page one." (USA Today)

Kamila's life might not be perfect, but, whew, it's close. She lives a life of comfort, filled with her elaborate Bollywood movie parties, a dog with more Instagram followers than most reality stars, a job she loves, and an endless array of friends who clearly need her help finding love. In fact, Kamila is so busy with her friends' love lives, she's hardly given any thought to her own . . .

Fortunately, Kamila has Rohan. A longtime friend of the family, he's hugely successful, with the deliciously lean, firm body of a rock climber. Only lately, Kamila's "harmless flirting" with Rohan is making her insides do a little bhangra dance.

But between planning the local shelter's puppy prom, throwing a huge work event, and proving to everyone that she's got it all figured out, Kamila isn't letting herself get distracted--until her secret nemesis returns to town with an eye for Rohan. Suddenly, it seems like the more Kamila tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel--and her perfectly ordered life is about to be turned upside down.
