The Favorites by Layne Fargo

4.5

This was dramatic and all-around intriguing. I love following a toxic, ambitious main character over the course of many years, and seeing how her relationship to the sport evolves with life experience. If you like sports dramas, ice skating, the Olympics, and a toxic push-pull romance, with sometimes soap opera levels of drama, you’ll enjoy this. 

I highly recommend this to fans of Daisy Jones & the Six (and TJR in general) for the format. It’s a mix of documentary/interview style transcript and first person narrative — which really lent itself to seeing situations from all perspectives. 

Thanks to netgalley and Penguin Random House for the ARC!
