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 new thriller about a lavish Sri Lankan wedding celebration that not everyone will survive.

When Amaya is invited to Kaavis 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 Amayas past begin to swirl, she cant 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 unravels 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.

Started on audio but that’s not a good format for this with the interviews.

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.

Thanks Goodreads for the e book I won in a giveaway. I enjoyed this suspenseful book. It kept me guessing until the very end. ( )

When Amaya realized that her ex-best friend Kaavi and ex-boyfriend Spencer are planning to get married, she races from LA to Sri Lanka to stop the wedding. Amaya is crushed by what happened 5 years earlier that caused the break in the friendship and the dismissal of Amaya from the lives of the Fonseka family. Kaavi Fonseka seems to have it all, a successful charity, a wealthy family, a handsome fiance, and it is all on social media for everyone to see. Amaya stalks Kaavi and watches all her posts. So, when she is invited to attend the wedding after 5 years of no communication, Amaya knows she must attend and stop the wedding.
I loved all the gossips and the transcripts of the security interviews, and was intrigued by the big secret. Very good - can't wait to read her other books! ( )

When Amaya is invited to her best friends wedding she couldn't be more excited. Excited to make sure this wedding never happens because said friend is marrying Amaya's ex-boyfriend. But her reasons for wanting to stop this wedding might not be what you think.

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. ( )

Why would your former best friend that you hadn’t talked to for ten years invite you to her wedding to your ex-boyfriend?

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. ( )

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?
