What Made Maddy Run: The Secret Struggles and Tragic Death of an All-American Teen by Kate Fagan

2.0

I skimmed this, and it didn’t do it for me. Maybe the original article would have been a better read - it suffered from a problem nonfiction can have, where every detail is included because a source mentioned it, or to pad what isn’t really enough material. What color bra she dressed in one day is just not relevant. Also, the author chose to make several chapters first person, about her own experience as an athlete and about her writing process, which wasn’t a technique I felt served the book.
