They just don’t write sweeping dramas like this anymore! Layne Fargo thank you but also how could you?
This was engaging, thrilling, infuriating & an absolute delight to read. The level of detail Fargo weaves into the story made me pull up google to search visuals of these fictional characters and skating events. The exploration of the complexity of ambition and obsession was beautifully developed through this story of morally gray characters. I will be thinking about this book for a long time.
I would specifically recommend to lovers of I,Tonya, Wuthering heights, daisy jones & the six, and from Lukov with love.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group, for an eArc in exchange for an honest review.
