Reviews*** PRAISE FOR LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE BY JESSICA KNOLL [A] huge summer read . . . one of those great stories that you can't put down!" --Reese Witherspoon, InStyle "The perfect page-turner to start your summer." -- People (Book of the Week) "Dark, twisty . . . razor-sharp writing . . . propulsive prose . . . [The] reveal is a real doozy--a legitimately shocking, completely unputdownable sequence that unfolds like a slow-motion horror film. It instantly elevates Luckiest Girl . . . and that momentum keeps going until its final pages." -- EW "Loved Gone Girl ? We promise [ Luckiest Girl Alive is] just as addictive." -- Good Housekeeping "A pulse-pounding, jaw-dropping novel about how tragedy twists and shapes lives." -- InTouch (A-) "When Ani FaNelli wants something, she gets it: the job, the body, the man. What starts as a Mean Girls- seeming story line transforms into something so dark, so plot-twistingly intense that...well, actually, no spoilers here." -- Marie Claire "A knockout debut novel . . . completely enthralling . . . devilishly dark and fun." -- Publishers Weekly "[Ani FaNelli is] a cross between Sex and the City 's Carrie Bradshaw and Gone Girl 's Amy Dunne. . . . Knoll's debut truly delivers and will keep readers engaged until the end." -- Library Journal "This is going to be the book you insist all your friends read this summer. . . . [A] clever, cunning satire on the female condition in the 21st century." -- Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, EARLY PRAISE FOR THE FAVORITE SISTER BY JESSICA KNOLL "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. There's enough conniving, scandal, and snark to rival the most shocking episodes of Real Housewives, and these cutthroat divas play to win even if it means blurring the line between truth and lies. In the end, murder seems inevitable. Season 4 will end with a bang, and there will be blood...salaciously entertaining." --Kirkus Reviews "Knoll's second thriller (after Luckiest Girl Alive) combines the cut-throat world of reality television and the competition for fame among alleged friends. The unexpected and unpredictable twists and surprising revelations will delight suspense fans." --Library Journal "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 bestselling author of You Will Know Me, EARLY PRAISE FOR THE FAVORITE SISTER BY JESSICA KNOLL "[A] razor-sharp, darkly comic thriller...Knoll explores the blurry lines between a reality show and real life--and the duplicity of family ties and friendship. Though the mystery is engrossing enough in its own right, Knoll's 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) "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 "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. There's enough conniving, scandal, and snark to rival the most shocking episodes of Real Housewives, and these cutthroat divas play to win even if it means blurring the line between truth and lies.

Synopsis*** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** "Engrossing...Deliciously savage and wildly entertaining."-- People Magazine (Book of the Week) From Jessica Knoll--author of Luckiest Girl Alive , the instant New York Times bestseller and the bestselling debut novel of 2015--comes a blisteringly paced thriller starring two sisters who join the cast of a reality TV series. One won't make it out alive. So...who did it? When five hyper-successful 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 twenty-seven, 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 which requires her to protect their shocking secret. Stephanie, the first black cast member and the oldest, is a successful bestselling author of erotic novels. There have long been whispers about her hot, non-working 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. 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.
