Undoubtedly outdone herself with this one as well.

After reading her debut novel My Sweet Girl and the plot twist that came along with it, I expected this to be equally amazing as well.

And is did not disappoint!

You're Invited was well plotted and written in such an amazing way that you don't know the book has gripped you till you're halfway in. The way the Sri Lankan themes are described and highlighted throughout this book helps the reader connect with the culture in order to understand the full picture.

The utilisation of language (which is so Sri Lankan) and the flawless delivery of the translation is executed perfectly throughout the whole book.

I read this in one day and as always, the plot twists just kept on coming.

It highlights basic human qualities like jealousy, anger and love; while projecting on individual character growth.

It focuses on the world wind of chaos surrounding wedding planning and captures the essence of the true upper class Colombo 7 crowd. ( I say this with ease because I have first hand experience on how this society works)

I love how you really don't know the whole story till the final few chapters and how the writing manages to keep the readers on their toes about it without making them drop the book.

Each character is eerily consistent with actual human behaviour and qualities. It gives us a detailed behind the scenes to life behind the high walls of the "picture perfect family"

If you go into this book with assumptions.... believe me.... all of it will be debunked by the end of the book.

That being said, I have one tip for you - pick this one up while totally expecting the unexpected.
