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

2.0

Well, that was not what I expected. I thought I would read briefly about Suzy's development of mental illness and how it manifested itself. And then I thought I would get some insight into how she eventually was diagnosed, what her recovery was like and what she expects from the future. Instead, this was a titillating description of her bizarre marriage with her husband while she worked as a high priced call-girl in Vegas. I did not need the detailed description of what you were doing during that period of your life Suzy. I'm also surprised by some reviewer's admiration for Suzy's husband. We don't get much insight into who he is as a person but this book certainly makes him look like a major codependent enabler. It blows my mind that he didn't try to get Suzy some mental health assessment during that crazy time.
