This month I read quite a few “hot” books that were talked about everywhere including The Favorites. I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed by the ending with Kat and Heath not really getting any justice for the “incidents” at their last competition and I absolutely hated the plot twist of Heath having a child. I will say that the love story between Heath and Kat was fun and reminiscent of young love with the emotional ride of growing from one stage of life to the next with a long-term partner. The love story truly stood out for me over the competition / skating story. However, this book did bring back my childhood memories of wanting to be professional ice skater.
