(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
TW: ableist comment, parental abuse
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Emma. But when I saw that The Emma Project is a gender bent Emma, I was intrigued. Connected to the other Rajes stories, The Emma Project deals with expectations and (mis)conceptions. It's about having to confront some truths about ourselves and figuring out if we are motivated to look closer. While I think it's best if read with the others in the series, you can definitely read without (even though this book seems to have a close connection to the previous one especially).
Dual POV, The Emma Project allows us to see the accusations and miscommunications. How someone can sometimes see so clearly the pieces of ourselves we hide. But also how they can be distracted by their impressions of us. It took me a bit of time to get into Naina and Vansh as main characters. And Dev does not shy away from flawed, complex, or characters who make mistakes.
