The Favorites by Layne Fargo
4.0
dark sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Definitely liked it a lot better than Wuthering Heights. Also I’m so glad I listened to the audiobook. With all the various narrators doing the interview parts it totally fleshed out the story so well. Overall I liked it quite a bit - still sort of a sad story and super flawed characters as  spinning it off WH requires (tho not nearly as bad as WH), but it fit well in a narrative of a competitive Olympic sport.
