Intriguing premise, 5 women on a reality show called Goal Diggers – right? Although I can’t bear to watch shows like Real Housewives or KUWTK, the fact that this was described as “Big Little Lies meets Real Housewives” made me somewhat optimistic that it might be a guilty pleasure kind of read – sort of like the book Bachelor Nation. With thanks to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for a copy of Jessica Knoll’s The Favorite Sister in return for my honest review, I apologetically confess that I couldn’t finish it.

Admittedly, my TBR pile is in double digits, and I am feeling some time pressure to get it together, but life is just too short to spend time reading something where you just can’t stand ANY of the characters, especially when one character is murdered and you realize you sort of wish more of them would meet the same fate.

Looking at some other reviews, I think this will be PERFECT for many readers. If I were still working in a public library, I know I would be able to recommend it wholeheartedly to lots of library patrons. Sort of how I used to say when people would ask me about the latest Danielle Steel book: “It’s VERY popular!”

So, for me this is a one star review. Just not for me, but as I said above, it will be great for lots of people.
