The Favorites by Layne Fargo, 496 pages
Since they were young teens, Katarina and Heath have been a sensation in the world of ice dancing, clawing their way to the top of podiums despite their lack of wealth or connections. Over the years and several attempts at world championships and Olympic medals, scandal followed the pair as they fought with their volatile chemistry both on and off the ice, as they worked together and with other partners, slept together and toyed with each other's jealousies and insecurities.
Interspersed with documentary transcripts, this captivating book reimagines Wuthering Heights in the cutthroat world of ice dancing, and while that sounds like a farfetched dud of a book, it's not. AT ALL. It's fascinating, page-turning, and fantastic. Highly recommend for the over-the-top drama.
