Thanks to PRH Audio for the free copy of this book.
- THE FAVORITES is a retelling of WUTHERING HEIGHTS, but you don’t need to be familiar with the original text to get swept up in the drama.
- I know next to nothing about ice dancing, and was still riveted by the triumphs, tears, and backstabbing in this book.
- I very much enjoyed the audiobook, which has a full cast. This includes Johnny Weir voicing one of the rival skaters, and he was just a delight.
