The Favorites by Layne Fargo
2.0
This kills me because I really loved the first half of this book. It felt like Daisy Jones and Carrie Soto. The audiobook was great and the narration was full cast. It was set up to the a highlight of the year.
And then I started hating their relationship. I didn’t care about the skating shit as much as I would’ve liked. I didn’t know a damn thing about tennis, but TJR made me eager to watch a match. If anything, Fargo made me want to stay away from watching ice dance.
The petty drama wasn’t entertaining. The rifts in Kat’s and Heath’s relationship were frustrating (and not in a good way). The side characters made me cringe. The plot points toward the last fourth of book had me wanting to DNF (and I truly should’ve). This was not what I wanted and I’m so sad.
