Welcome to I'll Read What She's Reading, the podcast where we deep dive into our book club pick of the month for February, we're lacing up our skates and breaking down The Favorites by Layne Fargo, epic sports romance set in the cutthroat world of competitive figure skating.

We're sharing our ratings, favorite (and least favorite) moments, and the characters we loved to hate — plus, who we'd cast if this icy, scandal-filled story made its way to the screen- because let's be real, this story needs to be on screen. If you love toxic female friendships, messy ambition, and a little bit of murder with your triple axels, this one's for you.
