Happy book birthday to THE FAVORITES by Layne Fargo
You remember the news stories, the rumors, the scandals, the brutal competition to bring home the gold and be crowned the best. Olympic athletes are in a class by themselves and we see them as machines devoid of emotion especially when on camera. THE FAVORITES takes us behind the scenes of ice dancing from childhood dream to hopefully an Olympic podium focusing on a pair of skaters who have been at each other's side and back since they first laced skates. Katerina and Heath quickly learn that they must overcome a rocky start become one fluid person without emotion other than the obsessive drive to be the best. Emotions run high in this glittery world that praises you one minute and runs a skate across your throat the next. This story has all the adrenaline, passion, bright lights and backstabbing that will have readers flipping pages faster than you can lace up your skates. It does for Olympic ice skating what DAISY JONES AND THE SIX did for rock bands or what THE BALLERINAS by Rachel Kapelke-Dale did for professional dance. An emotional roller coaster love/hate story that will leave you reeling. 4 1/2 made for tv stars
