Very good - can't wait to read her other books! (  ) rmarcin | May 5, 2023 | Told through flashbacks from four months ago to wedding day and current "police" interviews, "You're Invited" is a tantalizing tale of friendship, family bonds, and of course how those bonds are tested. In a tale where no one is who they present themselves to be we are begged to question what exactly is reality. I wouldn't say this read was super thrilling, however it did keep my attention. Amaya is obsessed with good omens, always checking the clock for signs, prone to self-harm (physical pain is much better than mental pain) and is a character we end up rooting for. With the setting of Sri Lanka we get a sense of the culture which gives this novel another unique layer. I give this 4 stars. ( ) BookGirlBrown | Dec 30, 2022 | Amaya was very confused since Kaavi’s family forbid her to contact them over some incident years ago. Amaya also couldn’t believe Kaavi was marrying Spencer. She knew she had to stop the wedding. Both Kaavi’s mother and father were furious when they saw her…did Kaavi have some plan Amaya and others did not know about or was she just rubbing it in? There is an undertone with all the characters that seems to hint that everyone is hiding something. So who really did stop the wedding by attacking Kaavi? We follow the police interviews of each guest and hear comments that could incriminate any of the characters. No one held any resentment or gossip back during the interviews. The book dragged on a bit, and didn’t get “meaty” until 40%, but I kept reading and guessing. Some twists and surprises. Be aware there are some disturbing habits the characters have. 3/5 This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review. (  ) SilversReviews | Aug 24, 2022 |
 In You’re Invited, by Amanda Jayatissa, Amaya feels strange about receiving her invitation to her ex-bestie Kaavi’s wedding. First, the former friends haven’t spoken in years, and second, Kaavi’s engaged to Amaya’s ex. But, after a personal invitation from Kaavi’s family and encouragement from her new bestie, Beth, Amaya decides to return to Sri Lanka for the massive wedding celebration, and find a way to stop the wedding. The wedding is a massive, multi-day party, creating a luxe background for Amaya’s secret mission to stop the wedding, and not-so-secret mission to get her bestie back. The red flags start almost as soon as she arrives and Kaavi’s family knows nothing about the invitation they sent her. ... Everyone in Kaavi’s life, everyone in Amaya’s life, basically everyone at the wedding, was keeping huge secrets. I liked this because there was no shortage of suspects and motives, and I also liked how some of the secrets intersected. Everyone had a secret, but is an everyday cheating secret or a little financial irregularity…. or is it murder? MenzioniElenchi di rilievo

I don’t the main character but that’s not a deal breaker…. At least not yet. Difficult to find time to read hard cover so I might need to finish this when library hold of ebook comes through.
