The Favorite(s) With Layne Fargo

On this episode of Barely Famous Kail sits down with author Layne Fargo, writer of The Favorites, They Never Learn, and Temper, to talk toxic women, ambition, and why being an “unlikable” female character is actually the goal.

They get into the dark, figure-skating drama of The Favorites (inspired by the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal), full-cast audiobooks and what it really takes to keep writing after 100+ agent rejections. The ladies also dive into jealousy between ambitious women, BookTok’s impact on feminist fiction, and why choosing authenticity over likability is the real power move.

If you love morally gray women, messy friendship dynamics, and feminist thrillers, this episode is for you!
