Think Wuthering Heights meets Daisy Jones & The Six, but on ice... and with Olympic-level angst.
The Favorites is an epic, decades-spanning love story drenched in ambition, rivalry, and the glittering peril of elite figure skating. Katarina Shaw and Heath Rocha rise from obscurity; one has no name, the other is a foster kid, and they become Olympic-bound icons. Their chemistry is magnetic, their style rebellious. But a scandal at their golden moment sends them spiraling apart. A decade later, an unauthorized documentary surfaces—tampering with public memory. Kat steps forward to reclaim the narrative, delivering a confessional that weaves her brutal drive, heartbreak, and unrelenting bond with Heath into something unforgettable.
Why you’ll love it: Layers of ambition vs. obsession, public glory vs. private pain, and a relationship so toxic-hot it’ll have you holding your breath. Jodi Picoult called it “as brilliantly choreographed as a gold medal performance”.
📖 Condition: Like-new—crisp pages and vivid cover art, ready for the front-row drama shelf.
💘 Perfect for: Dark academia fans, sports-romance lovers, and readers obsessed with messy, unforgettable love stories.
