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

3.0

This book was interesting and relevant. It was also not what I expected. Most memoirs on mental health tell a tale of the disease and the cure/management. This is the story of an Olympic Runner who after having a child becomes addicted to sex and becomes an escort. A lot of this book is about her being an escort. I feel like this book was important because it gave a face to her story that is personal. It was a fast read. It wasn't bad but also not amazing. It is a story I feel should be read and might be more helpful to some than others.
