From the author of Luckiest Girl Alive-now a Netflix film-comes the “engrossing” (People) New York Times bestseller starring two sisters who join the cast of a reality TV series…and only one will make it out alive. Brett and Kelly have always toed the line between supportive sisters and bitter rivals. Growing up, Brett was the problem child, living in the shadow of the brilliant and beautiful Kelly. In adulthood, all that has changed. Kelly is a struggling single mother and Brett has skyrocketed to meteoric success that has been chronicled on a reality TV show called Goal Diggers. When Kelly manipulates her way onto the show and into Brett’s world, Brett is wildly threatened. Kelly, and only Kelly, knows her younger sister’s appalling secret, one that could ruin her. Still, when the truth comes out in the explosive final weekend of filming, neither of them ever expected that the season would end in murder. Review PRAISE FOR THE FAVORITE SISTER BY JESSICA KNOLL What could be more engrossing, guilty-pleasure-wise, than a reality show about rich, backstabbing women? A juicy whodunit staged behind the scenes of just such a fictional show, thats what. In Knolls follow-up to 2015s Luckiest Girl Alive, one of the viciously ambitious stars of the series Goal Diggers ends up dead-and the truth behind the murder isnt revealed until each conniving cast member presents her version of the backstory. Deliciously savage and wildly entertaining.-People Magazine (Book of the Week) “Knoll mines the rich landscape of reality television and creates a binge-worthy beach read complete with the provocative twists and turns of a whodunit...Reality TV fans will get a kick out of seeing their favorite Real Housewives amalgamated into fictional form. Hint: We see a lot of RHONY in these ladies.”-USA Today (3 out of 4 stars) “Knoll explores the blurry line between a reality show and real life--and the duplicity of family ties and friendship-in this razor-sharp, darkly comic thriller...[a] briskly paced whodunit...Though the mystery is engrossing enough in its own right, Knolls novel is most notable as a potent takedown of a reality-show-obsessed culture that seeks out the spotlight rather than harder truths.“-Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW) “Fans of Jessica Knolls Luckiest Girl Alive, buckle up. In The Favorite Sister, Knoll takes us through the crazy world of reality TV, filled with careful observations and complete OMG moments, like no author can. The story of five women on a reality show called The Goal Diggers, it is utterly unputdownable. Read it, then have fun with your friends trying to figure out which real-life reality stars inspired each of the fictional ones here.“-PopSugar “Youll be seeing this pink umbrella on beaches everywhere this summer. The next thriller from the pen of Luckiest Girl Alive has a reality TV show as its setting, and a pair of sisters-who are definitely no Housewives-with a dark secret to get the action going.“-Elle “A twisty, sexy thriller, jam-packed with wit and snark. Everything you wanted to know about what goes on off-camera is here: the secrets, the lies, and all the juicy details that make you speed through it like an episode of The Bachelor.“-Glamour “The Real Housewives are tame next to the reality-show stars in Jessica Knoll’s wickedly gripping The Favorite Sister.“-Cosmopolitan “Picture a fictional feminist reality TV show thats 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 youll gobble up in one sitting.“-Marie Claire “We dont want to give too much away, but you wont be able to put this one down-no matter how good the water looks.-Good Housekeeping “Knoll explores the pressure society places on women to be everything to everyone and do it all without a strand of hair out of place. Theres enough connivin
