About this listen

From the author of the bestselling debut novel of 2015 Luckiest Girl Alive comes Jessica Knoll’s thriller, The Favourite Sister, featuring a pair of competitive and uber-successful sisters whose secrets and lies result in murder. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers and Caroline Kepnes' You.

Brett and Kelly Courtney are the shining jewels in a New York-based reality TV show called Goal Diggers. One of the most popular shows on American national television, its fiercely competitive cast of five self-made women are defined by their success, beauty and ruthless drive to reach the top by whatever means necessary.

The Courtney sisters’ rivalry goes skin deep despite the blossoming business they have built together that helps disadvantaged women in Morocco. Harbouring bitter jealousies and dark secrets about their manufactured screen lives they’re joined by three other hyper-competitive women who all have their own agendas. And the latest season promises sparks to fly in the quest for even higher ratings.

Vicious backstabbing, scathing social media attacks and finely-tuned scripting draw in the viewing public every week, all orchestrated by the show’s omnipotent producers. But even they don’t know that season 4 will end in murder . . .

Critic Reviews

Knife-sharp and enthralling, Jessica Knoll’s The Favorite Sister is as bold and smart and audacious a novel about women and ambition as you could hope for. A more-than-worthy follow-up to Luckiest Girl Alive, it proves Knoll is a literary force to be reckoned with (Megan Abbott)
You'll be seeing this pink umbrella on beaches everywhere this summer
The unexpected and unpredictable twists and surprising revelations will delight suspense fans
Picture a fictional feminist reality TV show that's basically The Real Housewives of Startup Boardrooms. We find out early that one of the five castmates is dead, but we have no idea who did it, or why. This is the kind of soapy, hilariously vicious book you'll gobble up in one sitting
In the end, murder seems inevitable. Season 4 will end with a bang, and there will be blood . . . salaciously entertaining
Knoll's novel is most notable as a potent take down of a reality-show-obsessed culture that seeks out the spotlight rather than harder truths
We don't want to give too much away, but you won't be able to put this one down — no matter how good the water looks
A twisty, sexy thriller, jam-packed with wit and snark
A binge-worthy beach read complete with the provocative twists and turns of a whodunit
Engrossing . . . deliciously savage and wildly entertaining
All stars

I love books with unlikeable characters but this book was just an all over the place mess. It was a jumble if random characters random thoughts
