The Favourites

'The Favourites is a true literary triple axel- a smart and nuanced retelling of a classic, a tense sports drama, and a perfectly twisted romance.' * Rachel Hawkins, author of The Wife Upstairs * ‘A glittery compulsive whirl of a book, filled with spite and love and sequins and ambition’ * Holly Gramazio, author of The Husbands * 'An addictive read... as shimmering and lethal as ice-dancing itself.' * Emma Brodie, author of Songs in Ursa Major * 'If you have ever watched Olympic ice dancing teams and wondered if the chemistry between them persists when they’re not competing . . . well, have I got a book for you. Part Wuthering Heights and part Daisy Jones And The Six, this novel is as brilliantly choreographed as a gold medal performance, and will keep you guessing until its last page.' * Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author of WISH YOU WERE HERE and MAD HONEY * ‘A scorching saga of rivalry, betrayal and love’ * Melinda Salisbury, author of The Sin Eater’s Daughter * ‘As romantic as it is thrilling’ * Ela Lee, author of Jaded * 'As a former competitive figure skater, I devoured this... Layne Fargo proves she is the queen of writing complex, fierce and utterly compelling women' * Wendy Walker, author of What Remains * 'Layne Fargo is back with another deliciously scathing, sexy novel. You might not have known you needed Wuthering Heights on ice, but trust me, you do. Passionate, cutthroat, and irresistibly fun. You won’t be able to put it down.' * Julia Fine, author of MADDALENA AND THE DARK * 'The Favourites is nothing short of breathtaking. The ferocious passion between Kat and Heath leaps off the page' * Margarita Montimore, author of The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart * An utterly compulsive read… Fargo’s experience as a thriller writer…is evident in the breathless pace at which The Favourites unfolds… The Favourites will be your next obsession * Bookseller *
