The Favorites
The Favorites is a love story set in the sparkling, savage sphere of elite figure skating, starring a woman determined to carve her own path on and off the ice. Katarina Shaw, an aspiring Olympic skater, partners with Heath Rocha, a boy from the foster system. Their intense bond leads them to success on the ice, but a shocking incident at the Olympics ends their partnership. A decade later, an unauthorized documentary reignites public interest, prompting Kat to share her untold story and confront her past.
“I loved everything about this exhilarating novel. I raced through this epic love story set within the demanding, cutthroat world of competitive ice dancing filled with fascinating characters and all the drama we love both on and off the ice.”
