The Favourites
by Layne Fargo
Published by Chatto & Windus
Wuthering Heights meets Daisy Jones and the Six – on ice skates! A fabulous peak behind the scenes of figure skating at the highest level and what it takes to make it to the Olympics. Seriously gripping!
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 fans with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style and rollercoaster relationship.
Until, at the Olympic Games, a shocking incident destroys their partnership.
As the ten year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorised tell-all documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha. But Kat can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy, so after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story. 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.
Unputdownable!
