Publisher Description
“Absolutely addictive…it’s like Agatha Christie meets Crazy Rich Asians. Amanda Jayatissa is an author you want to watch.”—Brad Thor
What could be worse than your ex-boyfriend marrying your childhood best friend? Getting accused of her murder… From the award-winning author of My Sweet Girl comes a dangerously addictive thriller about a lavish Sri Lankan wedding celebration that not everyone will survive.
When Amaya is invited to Kaavi’s over-the-top wedding in Sri Lanka, she is surprised and a little hurt to hear from her former best friend after so many years of radio silence. But when Amaya learns that the groom is her very own ex-boyfriend, she is consumed by a single thought: She must stop the wedding from happening, no matter the cost.
But as the week of wedding celebrations begin and rumors about Amaya’s past start to swirl, she can’t help but feel like she also has a target on her back. When Kaavi goes missing and is presumed dead, all evidence points to Amaya.
However, nothing is as it seems as Jayatissa expertly reveals that each wedding guest has their own dark secret and agenda, and Amaya may not be the only one with a plan to keep the bride from getting her happily ever after…
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Amanda Jayatissa’s knockout second novel, troubled loner Amaya is devastated when she learns that her estranged childhood friend and her ex-boyfriend are getting married. She’s just as shocked to receive an invitation to the couple’s lavish wedding weekend back in her native Sri Lanka, where the elaborate plans for the event of the season are upended when the bride goes missing. This is no open-and-shut mystery—Jayatissa weaves a twisty tale of dangerous friendships and long-buried secrets. You’re Invited is a perfect summer pageturner. It kept us second- and third-guessing every character right up to the stunning final scene.
Customer Reviews
Great Start, Weak Ending
The first two thirds are really good, but then it goes off the rails.
Interesting read
A little slow in the first half, but once It gets good; It gets GOOD. Many characters with twists and turns and leaves you guessing. May be the worst best friend ever.
