SENSATIONAL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The best popular novel I’ve read all year
BookTok Hall of Fame material
#booksky #thefavourites
“As the sepulchral strings echoed over the sound system, I slithered around Heath, clutching at his costume like I could tear him apart with my bare hands. I was a creature of the night. I wanted to bend him to my will. I wouldn’t stop until I’d consumed him, body and soul.”

“I really wanted to write a thriller about ice dancers, and I pitched it to my editor at the time [in 2018] and she was not into it, she was like, “sports books don’t sell, do something else.”
- Layne Fargo on Bookwild Collective
I hope that editor feels like a FOOL
“By far the craziest thing I heard about was…I think they call it ‘fan fiction’?”
ooooh nooooo hahahahaha
there’s in-universe RPF in this novel which is a Cathy & Heathcliff modern figure-skating AU inspired by Torvill & Dean
amazing

“When I was strong and self-assured, people recoiled from me. They told me I was too competitive, too ambitious, too much. But when I was brought low, bruised and bleeding, a princess in need of rescue instead of a conquering queen, they loved me.”
#booksky #thefavourites
“…I almost didn’t recognise myself.
I looked delicate. Fragile. All that blood marring my white skates and my white dress somehow made me seem even more virginal and feminine.
And Heath looked like he would kill anyone who tried to tear us apart.”
#booksky #thefavourites
“Figure skating is a strange sport, because it depends so much on image and narrative. You have to kill it on the ice, but you also have to look the part and have a compelling story. What better way to add a plot twist than switching partners?”
#booksky #thefavourites
“We used to joke they were going to die in each other’s arms or kill each other with their bare hands. Nothing in between.”
If you loved @laynefargo.bsky.social #thefavourites (and you should!) and are missing your figure skating literary drama fix now you've finished it, pick up a copy of Thin Ice. Available here on ebook and in print: bit.ly/3DTCyBq

A proof copy of The Favourites by Layne Fargo is on top of a proof of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V E Schwab, both on a small round engraved wooden table. Above the books is a metallic French press and next to them a blue mug of coffee. All of this against the backdrop of an orange striped kilim
The shop is closed thanks to #Eowyn so I'm at home writing up recommendations and getting stuck into exciting 2025 reads.

May have squealed at this book post! #thefavourites
I adore the cover of #TheFavourites and there are comparisons to Daisy Jones and the Six so I was very excited about this novel, which follows two ice dancers as they chase their Olympic dreams. It’s very good but didn’t quite meet my (admittedly super high) expectations.
So, I finished The Favourites by Layne Fargo. I am in AWE of this book!
I loved the unique writing style, the characters felt so real, and the plot kept me guessing. A 5⭐️ read for me, I’d highly recommend! 💙📚 #booksky #TheFavourites #bookrecs
This book!! 😍 the author has done an INCREDIBLE job of making these characters feel so real! I keep going to google them to watch a dance or see their costumes at a certain competition, before reminding myself that they are in fact fictional 😂 so so so good!! 📚💙 #TheFavourites #booksky
Only 50 pages in so far, but I can already see why people are obsessed with this book! It’s SO good!! #booksky #thefavourites #thefavouriteslaynefargo 💙📚
Delighted to help @vintagebooks.bsky.social reveal these gorgeous sprayed edge editions of #TheFavourites by @laynefargo.bsky.social
This book was a five star read for me - full review on my IG 💙📚
Drama, scandal and emotion- perfect for TJR fans who loved Daisy Jones!
#booksky #figureskating
Yes, very excited about #TheFavourites too (is hashtagging even a thing here? Who knows?)
