Amanda Jayatissa Synopses: My Sweet Girl is a standalone novel by Amanda Jayatissa. Ever since she was adopted from a Sri Lankan orphanage, Paloma has had a great life – the best schools, money, and parents so perfect that she worries she’ll never live up to their standards.

Now at 30 and recently cut off from her parents’ funds, she decides to sublet the other bedroom of her overpriced San Francisco apartment to Arun, who recently moved from India. Paloma feels good helping someone else get on their feet in a new country – that is until Arun discovers Paloma’s darkest secret, one that could jeopardize her own fragile place in this country.

Paloma plans to pay Arun off, but instead, she finds him face down in a pool of blood. She flees the apartment but by the time the police arrive, there’s no body – and no evidence that Arun ever even existed in the first place.

Paloma is terrified that this has something to do with the desperation moves she made to get out of Sri Lanka so many years ago. Did Paloma’s secret die with Arun or is she now in more danger than ever before?
