You're Invited

3.25(still trying to decide if this is a 3.25 or 3.5 star read)Very disappointed that I didn't like this as much as I thought I would. It was very slow paced and all the ‘reveals' were thrown all together at the end. I wish the author had sprinkled them out throughout the whole book for more suspense because for the first 67% I felt like nothing was happening, just interviews and gossip and the last 33% was like twist after twist after twist and reveal after reveal after reveal.One thing I will say though the aunties gossip in this is spot on. I am SriLankan too and I have been in many situations with aunties like this lol and let me tell you this is almost exactly how it is. Also I really enjoyed reading abt the setting coz many of the places mentioned in the book are places I have been to.(Mt Lavinia beach, Lovinia's secret passageway, Colombo 7, etc) And since SriLanka is rarely mentioned in thrillers it was like a whole new experience reading this. I will definitely be checking out [a:Amanda Jayatissa 20764500 Amanda Jayatissa https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1608019813p2/20764500.jpg]'s other book [b:My Sweet Girl 61381189 My Sweet Girl An addictive, shocking thriller with an UNFORGETTABLE narrator Amanda Jayatissa https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1656758133l/61381189.SY75.jpg 86560415] and I cannot wait!!Thank you Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley for an ARC of this book.:))
