December's book is The Favorites by Layne Fargo. Copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk the early November.

In The Favorites, when aspiring Olympic skater Katarina meets Heath, a kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Kat and Heath captivate the world with their scorching chemistry and rebellious style, until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end. As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with the duo, claiming to uncover the “real story”. Kat can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy, so after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.
