Goal Diggers is a wildly successful reality show featuring five uber-successful women. This year's season features veterans, Stephanie, an author of erotic novels and the first black cast member. And Brett, the youngest at twenty-seven, and the only lesbian cast member. Brett's older sister, Kelly, is in her first year on the show. She has been helping Brett run her empire for many years, so it only makes sense that she, and her young daughter, are included in the filming. Kelly can't help but hope that being on the show will help her get out of Brett's shadow. The season is set up to be full of drama. Brett and Stephanie, once best friends are now bitter enemies. Kelly and Brett have a tumultuous relationship going back to their childhood with a mother that played favorites. And Brett is engaged to a woman who is successful in her own right. The explosive dynamics between the five women are sure to be a ratings goldmine. But what will happen to the future of the show when the season spirals out of control and into murder?
Millions of people tune in every week to the reality show of their choice. The Favorite Sister takes you behind the scenes of a successful reality show featuring successful women. One of the things that I like about the premise of this book is that the stars of the show made peanuts. The produces wanted them to use the show to drive the sales of the business, therefore keeping them "hungry" rather than resting on their reality show laurels. I have to be honest that I did not really *like* any of the characters, except perhaps Layla, Kelly's daughter. They were all so desperate to keep their adoring fans that they were all ready to do whatever it took to keep their secrets secret. But it is when one of them stops caring is when things start to get dangerous. The book really jumps around in the timeline and in narrators, so my advice is to not stop reading in the middle of a chapter. I had guessed that it was one of the stars that was the murderer. In fact, there were several reasons why it could be her, but I was wrong. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS - And I love being wrong when reading a thriller!
Bottom Line - The Favorite Sister has everything you could hope to find in a reality show. Competition, revenge, love, jealousy, and even murderous rage. This is going to be one of those books that everybody will be buzzing about this summer. Be sure to read it so that you can be in on the conversation!
