A review by hollanddavis
The Favorites by Layne Fargo

3.25

On vibes alone, this book was a mashup of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid and The Notebook (2004) and I, Tonya (2017). Relationships were messy. Drama was laid bear. Ice was skated to the fullest. I personally like my books more rom-com than rom-dram, so it was a more tense than I usually go for, but I don't regret reading it.

I loved how the audiobook was actually set up like a tell-all documentary with multiple voice actors and a main narrator. It brought the story to life and kept all of the characters in order in a way a single narrator wouldn't have as quickly. I definitely recommend waiting for the audiobook if you have the chance because it 100% enhances the experience.
