YOU'RE INVITED

Amanda Jayatissa

What could be worse than your ex-boyfriend marrying your childhood best friend? Getting accused of her murder... From the 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 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 begin 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 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...

Amanda Jayatissa grew up in Sri Lanka, completed her undergrad at Mills College, CA, and lived in the UK before moving back to her sunny little island. She works as a corporate trainer, owns a chain of cookie stores, and is a proud dog-mum to her two spoiled huskies.

A brilliant dissection of the powers and pitfalls of maintaining a good reputation in a world where influence means everything - and on top of that, it's red-hot, wicked fun. Jayatissa's signature sly, darkly funny voice shines in this arresting thriller that manages to skewer influencer and ruling class culture while giving readers all the vicarious pleasures of life among the Sri Lankan elite.

A rollercoaster of a thrill-ride that will have you guessing at every corkscrew turn. Richly layered and told through multiple points of view... this heady thriller is Knives Out meets The Guest List and will leave a Gillian Flynn-shaped hole daggered through your heart.

You're Invited reads like Crazy Rich Asians' deranged, bloodthirsty sister - slick, twisted, and relentlessly juicy. Amanda Jayatissa's sophomore thriller is both a dizzying hall-of-mirrors pageturner and a cutting examination of privilege, power, and complex female friendships. I couldn't put it down.

So. Much. Wedding. Drama! This is bound to be one of the best psychological thrillers out this year.

Filled with kaleidoscope twists and turns I could not turn the pages fast enough in this delicious follow-up to My Sweet Girl. When Amaya receives an invitation to the lavish Sri Lankan wedding of her ex-boyfriend and her ex-best friend, her decision to attend is only the first mystery at the heart of this unputdownable thriller.

Whip smart and expertly plotted with perfectly arranged clues and an explosive finale...will have readers guessing who they can trust and who the real villain is in this wickedly good thriller.
