Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness by Sarah Tomlinson

dark informative sad fast-paced

2.0

A memoir of an Olympic long distance runner who became a high-priced Las Vegas call girl. I went into this wanting to root for Hamilton in her struggles with mental health, but I found her to be a thoroughly unlikable person. Any message about getting proper diagnosis and treatment were drowned out by the prurient way the prostitution sections were treated, and the unhealthy, in my eye, way she used her bipolar disorder as a catchall excuse.
