This book starts off slow, but a whole bunch of twists unravel at once in the end. Rest assured, though, that her actions begin to make sense as the story progresses! She self-harms, which is described but never addressed. She is obsessed with her ex-best friend and her life revolves around stalking Kaavi on her various social media platforms.
I especially liked how it was applied to wedding etiquette in this case–I learned a lot about this multi-day affair that sounds like a blast!Īmaya is certainly an imperfect main character, and some may find her hard to like at the beginning of the book. My favorite part of You’re Invited, similar to My Sweet Girl, was reading about Sri Lankan customs. I’m a big fan of thrillers where weddings go wrong, and this cover sold it for me!
I chose You’re Invited as my BOTM pick after giving a five-star review to My Sweet Girl last year. Who wouldn’t want to travel halfway across the world to attend their ex-boyfriend’s wedding? She hoped that Amaya being there would stir up some drama (she thought Nadia might be the daughter of Amaya and her father, but thankfully that relationship was just rumored). Tahani had invited Amaya to the wedding because she was sick of Kaavi being the perfect daughter. Amaya was their backup plan for a scapegoat. Kaavi’s mom had supplied the gun and helped Kaavi with the real plan. Amaya ended up shooting Spencer with Kaavi’s gun. When Amaya went looking for Kaavi, she found her in a shed with Spencer. Amaya and Kaavi had made a plan for Kaavi to escape. Spencer didn’t know Nadia was his daughter.Īmaya needed to stop the wedding to keep Spencer away from Nadia (and to protect Kaavi from his abuse). Spencer was abusive and a pedophile, and Amaya gave Nadia up to get her away from him. Nadia (Kaavi’s youngest sister, adopted by her parents) was actually Amaya and Spencer’s daughter.
