COPY ISBN
The cast of the reality TV show Goal Diggers are young female entrepreneurs, two of whom are sisters; Brett, who owns a successful spin studio and recently became engaged to her girlfriend, and older sister Kelly, Brett's business partner, share a shocking secret. Erotica writer Stephanie is the first black cast member of the show and Brett's former best friend; their relationship provides plenty of fodder for the broadcast. Well-cast narrators Ashlie Atkinson, Jenni Barber, and Aja Nami King don't hold back any of the anger or angst. Unfortunately, the novel drags on and is too predictable. Listening to Knoll's Luckiest Girl Alive would be far more rewarding.
VERDICT For listeners who love reality TV, catfights, hissy fits, backstabbing, and revenge. Recommended only for collections that have the audience and the budget. ["The unexpected and unpredictable twists and surprising revelations will delight suspense fans": LJ 3/1/18 review of the S. & S. hc.]
