A page turning edge of your seat ride. Just when you think you have it all figured, the book twists again all the way to the very end.

Amaya is surprised to get a wedding invitation from her former best friend, Kaavi. She’s even more surprised to learn that the groom is her ex-boyfriend. Amaya has to stop the wedding, but in trying to, she finds herself entangled in secrets and betrayals. Then Kaavi goes missing and is presumed dead. Amaya becomes a prime suspect, but she’s not the only guest with a motive.
I loved the setting of Sri Lanka and it being a wedding with so many twists. The book is written as a mix of Amaya's point of view and police interviews, which I liked. I especially liked getting Kaavi's point of view at times. While I had suspected something about Kaavi's father, Amaya's actual secret definitely surprised me. Amaya had some issues and not all of them were resolved or even semi-addressed, but I still really enjoyed this one.

This was a fun little thriller :) a unique premise and setting, had a solid and compelling storyline.
This was a quick read that reminded me somewhat of the Big Little Lie’s structure. The book alternated between the time leading up to a large event and the bystander interviews after the event.
Amaya is a complex character who has a compulsive need to check in with her former best friend, Kaavi. And by check in, more so through the use of multiple anonymous social media accounts that constantly comment and engage with Kaavi’s lavish lifestyle posts. Having spent five years with zero communication, Amaya is surprised to find a wedding invite from Kaavi in her inbox. She’s also surprised to see that the groom is no other than her college boyfriend who she dated for four years and also hasn’t spoken to in five years.
Amaya will do whatever it takes to stop this wedding, formulating multiple plans to make this a reality. So when the bride goes missing the day of the wedding, the reader is left trying to figure out how Amaya did it.
