Acerca de esta escucha

To the world, they were a scandal. To each other, an obsession.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An epic love story set in the sparkling, savage sphere of elite figure skating starring a woman determined to carve her own path on and off the ice

“Part Wuthering Heights and part Daisy Jones & The Six, this novel is as brilliantly choreographed as a gold medal performance and will keep you guessing until its last page.”—Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of By Any Other Name

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was 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 the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.

Reseñas de la Crítica

The Favorites is a dizzying left hook to the jaw that drops the reader behind the scenes of competitive pairs ice dancing. . . . [Fargo’s] characters are unabashedly extra.”—The Washington Post

“The horny ice skating novel The Favorites could not have possibly arrived at a more perfect time. . . . Immersive, wildly addictive.”—Paste

“[The Favorites] has a simple premise, executed perfectly: Wuthering Heights, but make it Olympic figure skaters. . . . So effing good.”—CrimeReads

First things first I absolutely love the audio performance that these narrators did. If you look at the listing of the audiobook, you’ll find that there are multiple narrators listed. When they go into the interview portions of the books, each individual person they are interviewing is a different narrator, and I found that too enhance my experience of the book drastically.
Now, when I was reading the first part of book because I was doing an immersive experience. I started off with just my copy of the physical book itself. It wasn’t until I got about four chapters in that I grabbed the audiobook as well. I still found the story intrigue I like it, but until I got to a certain point is when I really started thinking that this was gonna be one of my favorite books of the year. And we’re only in January! I felt like this book took me on a roller coaster. I’m so glad that I really started picking up more literary fiction more last year because if I hadn’t, this is not something I would’ve likely picked up.

Stellar audio book and I loved the story

All the stars for this one - my first by Layne Fargo, and it was so good. The hours went by fast and I found myself excited for the next time I could listen. You don’t want it to end and just want to spend more time in this intoxicating world.

Excellently crafted, with rich character development, excellent narration (including by the one and only Johnny Weir) … it felt like real life.

No spoilers here - just add it to your library and let the wild ride start. You’ll be glad you did.

Beautiful, Scandalous, Toxic & Addicting

Wow, this book took me through the spectrum of emotions. Multiple times I just sat with my head in my hands because of the excruciatingly twists and turns. Overall a solid 4-4.5⭐️ read, but gaw it was messy.

So good and so messy

Gave a lot of Taylor Jenkins Reid vibes. The audio book reminded me of daisy Jones one of my favorite audio books.

Where on earth do I even begin??

I want to keep it as spoiler free as possible (regardless read at your own risk), because honestly I think this is really deserving of it's overall rating!

If you're of fan of Magnolia Parks, Addicted, even a little Boys of Tommen, I think you'd enjoy reading this book. Even better if you like skating and are familiar with the politics that surround the sport.

The book opens up with a Narrator speaking about Katarina and Heath and their legacy. And on that note, I LOVED the commentary aspect of the book. I think it was broken up well and placed perfectly. listened to the audio book and 10/10 narration from the whole team.

The book then goes to follow these two through the course of their lives and boy oh boy is it a WHIRLWIND of drama, betrayal, and deep deeeeep love. I was screaming, and crying, and laughing.

Both of them come the end of the book had come so far and I truly SOBBED reading the epilogue, like could not have asked for a better ending, truly. The last quarter of this book was actually insane, there was SO MUCH HAPPENING and I was like what is going on?! I love it when I can't put down a book because I have to know what is going to happen and then I just devour it in a day.

SO FUN!!!

I absolutely loved this book and the narrations. The story and the actors were a perfect match. P.S. Johnny Weir was awesome!

Totally unexpected

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

A dishy, highly entertaining faux documentary of a scandalous pair of Olympic ice dancers and the other skaters and coaches around them. Johnny Weir was fantastic as the gossipy Ellis Dean. I somehow didn’t clock the Wuthering Heights references until I was more than halfway through, which might have helped me understand why Heath was so obsessed with Katerina earlier, oops. But that’s a testament to how well Layne Fargo immersed the reader into the ice skating world.
