Thank you to Libro.fm for the ALC of The Favorites by Layne Fargo. All opinions are my own. 

This book is all about the drama! If you like trashy reality TV shows, then I think you’ll enjoy this book. The characters are brutal and unlikable, but the way the story is told from multiple points of view makes you not want to stop reading. 

I was not a fan of how toxic these characters were. They were so terrible to each other, and the world of ice dancing in this book was full of people willing to sabotage each other in order to win. 

If I had read the physical book, I think I would have quit before finishing. I read the audiobook though, and it was done so well that I decided to continue on with the story. The audiobook is full cast with different narrators chiming into the story throughout the whole book. This format made the book much more enjoyable. 

Overall, this book wasn’t for me. However, if you enjoyed Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I think you’ll love this book. They very much have the same vibes, and the author is a fan of Reid’s work. 

Note: there is a lot of heavy themes throughout this book, so be aware that you may find some content triggering. Some things you could skip over, but toxic relationships are described throughout the whole book.
