My sister has never been a reader, but expressed interest in audiobooks now that she has a house cleaning gig. I’ve been trying to encourage her to read for over a decade, so I’d like to really nail the first recommendation.
She’s really into the Real Housewives and Kardashians which are not an area of expertise for me. Does anyone have any recommendations for fictional read-alikes revolving around the social elite navigating relationships, causing drama, and spending money on extravagant parties? Shooting for modern and somewhat easy listening. Think Big Little Lies rather than The Great Gatsby, if that makes sense.

Big Little Lies was what came to mind.
Maybe Crazy Rich Asians and sequels by Kevin Kwan and maybe his new book
Ultimate Prizes by Susan Howatch
The Deaths by Mark Lawson–takes place among four families in an upscale enclave
The Appeal by Janice Hallett
What a Carve Up by Jonathan Coe
