Summary:
Una novela llena de giros y suspense, sobre el pressing social al que viven sometidas muchas mujeres, que nos recuerda a Big Little Lies de Liane Moriarty. Un thriller protagonizado por hermanas competitivas cuyos oscuros secretos y mentiras las llevarán a un reality show que acabará en asesinato. Cuando cinco mujeres hiper exitosas, bellas y tremendamente competitivas acuerdan participar en un reality show ambientado en la ciudad de Nueva York llamado "Dig Diggers", los ejecutivos de la cadena esperan que el programa esté repleto de pequeños agravios, viciosos ataques, chismorreos... minucias. Lo que no pueden imaginar es que la segunda temporada del reality acabará en asesinato. Cada una de las cinco mujeres está ocultando algo oscuro a los espectadores, a los productores y entre ellas mismas. Y ante un cadáver nada desean más que mantener ocultos esos secretos. La hermana favorita ofrece una mirada ardiente a las presiones a las que se enfrentan las mujeres en la actualidad, incluida una mordaz crítica a los amigables y venerables lazos de hermandad femenina y a la implacable presión social y capitalista por mantenerse siempre joven, relevante, en definitiva, vendible.

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 cast mates. 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. 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.
