“Engrossing…Deliciously savage and wildly entertaining.”—People (Book of the Week)
NO ONE EVER SUSPECTS THE GOOD ONE.
Brett and Kelly have always toed the line between supportive sisters and bitter rivals. Growing up, Brett was the problem child, 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 such meteoric success, which has been chronicled on a reality TV show called Goal Diggers.
When Kelly manipulates herself onto the show and into Brett’s world, Brett is right to be threatened. Kelly, and only Kelly, knows her younger sister's appalling secret, and it 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.

“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…[and] a potent takedown of a reality-show-obsessed culture that seeks out the spotlight rather than harder truths.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Engrossing…Deliciously savage and wildly entertaining.”

— Cosmopolitan“You’ll 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“Up for an indulgent escape? The Favorite Sister is definitely a guilty pleasure.”
