The Favorites by Layne Fargo
She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but 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 the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.
Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.
As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public fascination with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.

Hello! I’ve never joined a book club before and was hoping to try. How does it work exactly? Since November is sold out and mention above that a new one in December will be posted. Do you mark the date in the December that we meet up and have to have the book read by that time? 🙂 what goes on during the book meeting and how long does it last?
Hi Rebecca! Yes, typically members finish the book before the meeting to help with the discussion, but no worries if not. The book club meeting is around 2 hours, and the host will lead the book discussion using our curated list of discussion questions. To join, all you have to do is click on an event under “Upcoming Bookclubs” and register under “Book Event”. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
