Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness by Suzy Favor Hamilton

3.0

Read this in one sitting, not that it was so riveting but more that it's an easy read. Suzy Favor Hamilton recounts her life struggling to be, and appear perfect, in order to please her parents (not that they required this)and the world in which they lived. Suzy grew up with a brother who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder causing much heartache and chaos in the family. In order to maintain control, Suzy threw herself into running and she was a natural runner. Turns out that running gave her a *high* that looking back she can recognize as signs of bipolar disorder. Her details of the life that she led as a call girl in Vegas was very in-depth and some details are better left unsaid.
