The Favourites by Layne Fargo is one of the books we were most excited to see get released this year.
Everyone thinks Heath Rocha was my first love. He wasn’t. My first love was figure skating.
Katarina Shaw has always known she’s destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating – and each other – to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating fans with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style and rollercoaster relationship.
Until, at the Olympic Games, as the world holds its breath, a shocking incident instantly destroys their partnership.
Ten years later, an unauthorised tell-all documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha. If Kat wants to own her story, she must break her silence. As Kat’s account of her dramatic rise and fall alternates with scandalous interviews from the film, The Favourites spins into a dance between passion, ambition and what it truly means to win.
Sensational rumours have haunted Kat and Heath’s every step for years, but the truth may be even more outrageous than the headlines.
The Favourites by Layne Fargo is pure drama-drenched, frostbitten perfection! Olympic-level skating with all the intensity of a soap opera.
The format is delicious — Kat telling her side of the story, while these wild, gossip-riddled documentary interviews crash in between. It’s like I, Tonya met Daisy Jones & The Six on skates, and then they all went out for drinks and chaos ensued.
It’s a book that will have you gasping out loud. The Olympic moment that shattered them? he layers of secrets, betrayal, and ooooh did that really happen? And then ten years later, the documentary drops, and everything re-ignites. Jawdroppingly scandalous!
Underneath all the drama, though, this book hits with real questions: What does winning actually cost? And when the spotlight fades, who are you without the medals and fan frenzy?
So if you’re craving something fast, fiery, and scandalously addictive — this is your next obsession. Pop the popcorn, pour the wine, and prepare for the ice-dancing soap opera of your dreams.
