Amanda Jayatissa is the award-winning author of My Sweet Girl (one of Abby's favorite suspense debuts of all time!). In Amanda's new novel YOU'RE INVITED, a lavish Sri Lankan wedding turns deadly... and everyone in the wedding party is a suspect. This week, Abby sits down with Amanda to discuss influencer culture and writing crime fiction in the age of social media, why friendship breakups don't get the consideration they deserve, and the many ways that a wedding can provide the perfect backdrop for a murder mystery.
