From Jessica Knoll - author of Luckiest Girl Alive, the instant New York Times best seller and the best-selling debut novel of 2015 - comes a blisteringly paced thriller starring competitive sisters whose dark secrets and lies result in murder when they sign on to a reality TV show.
When five hypersuccessful women agree to appear on a reality series set in New York City called Goal Diggers, the producers never expect the season will end in murder....
Brett's the fan favorite. Tattooed and only 27, the meteoric success of her spin studio - and her recent engagement to her girlfriend - has made her the object of jealousy and vitriol from her castmates.
Kelly, Brett's older sister and business partner, is the most recent recruit, dismissed as a hanger-on by veteran cast. The golden child growing up, she defers to Brett now - a role that requires her to protect their shocking secret.
Stephanie, the first black cast member and the oldest, is a successful best-selling author of erotic novels. There have long been whispers about her hot, nonworking actor-husband and his wandering eye, but this season the focus is on the rift that has opened between her and Brett, former best friends - and resentment soon breeds contempt.
Lauren, the start-up world's darling whose drinking has gotten out of control, is Goal Diggers' recovery narrative - everyone loves a comeback story.
And Jen, made rich and famous through her cultishly popular vegan food line plays a holistic hippie for the cameras but is perhaps the most ruthless of them all when the cameras are off.
The Favorite Sister explores the invisible barriers that prevent women from rising up the ranks in today's America - and offers a scathing take on the oft-lionized bonds of sisterhood and the relentless pressure to stay young, relevant, and salable.

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, New York Times best-selling author of You Will Know Me)

I chose this because it had a lot of positive reviews and also I really like reality TV (sorry, sorry, guilty pleasure). I think overall it was okay and didn't really live up to the reviews. There were some parts that I really liked and held my attention, but others I would find myself spacing out.
Plot-wise, I really wanted to know what happened to Brett, how she died, why it happened, etc. But I honestly was not emotionally invested in any of the characters. I didn't care about any of them, which I think is why I found myself not paying attention at some points.
Also, I listen to a LOT of audiobooks, and I thought the performers in this one were not the best. I didn't like the voices, I think some were shrill. I think the performer for Brett did a good job with Brett, but when she changed her voice for others, I found the voices to be annoying.
Meh

I love knoll’s other books. Love. This is by far the weakest. But it’s still not awful. What is awful was the casting. These are fine actresses for other mediums, but their performances for this book were way off the mark. They all were so tonally different. Neither the actress reading for Brett or Stephanie (the leads) could do voices for other characters. It was cartoony and really took away from the story.
Worst VO Casting I’ve Encountered
