The Favourites by Layne Fargo, a reimagining of Wuthering Heights set in the sparkling, savage world of elite figure skating. 

Three times I went to DNF. 
Yet I didn't. The story is 'so what who cares' up until part 5 when the story hits its peak and concludes. 

I enjoyed it in the end. Not sure I would recommend. 

This book tried too hard in my opinion, tried to hard to be a Taylor Jenkins Reid book.

The end.
