You're Invited is an engaging mystery that had me constantly guessing where the story was going & I am happy to say that it did not disappoint. The chaos and messiness of it all had me gasping and laughing out loud at the audacity!

The story follows multiple POV's as we try to unravel the mystery of what happened to the bride on the morning of her ultra glamorous wedding day. We start off with the female main characters POV months in the past and slowly count down to the wedding of her estranged best friend (to her ex-boyfriend no less). From the get go we know the FMC, Amaya, has only one goal in mind- to stop the wedding from happening. As the story unfolds, we get the POV of different characters involved in the lives of the bride & FMC as they are interviewed by private authorities. I loved this aspect because you really learn so much about the intricacies between characters, whether its friendship, romantic relations, or familial relationships. Not to mention learning some juicy secrets along the way!

The middle bit can seem a bit convoluted due to the big character list while keeping up with all the ins & outs of who is who (and who knows who, and who the heck is this person???) but I just kept it rollin' and was able to piece my confusion together. I will say that I thought the ending was a bit far fetched, but nonetheless, I really enjoyed the heck out of this!!

If you are a reality tv show junkie and love the DRAMA of it all, I think you will enjoy this too.

Mediocre plot, wildly unlikable characters, unnecessary twist with the fiancĂ©e, and the dialogue left much to be desired.
