Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness by Sarah Tomlinson
2.0
When I first got this book, I just wanted to know more of the story that startled the world a few years back. I do not really know what I expected, but this was not that in the least. It was an interesting story of a woman who lost her way and is now looking back on that and seeing the mental disease she did not know that she had before. I guess I did not expect much but for blaming the whole episode on her Bipolar Personality disorder, but the fact that she writes of her discover in a couple paragraphs at the end is what is disheartening. She had no problem discussing how she was an escort for so long but when it came to her actual discovery of her disorder, she summed it up and being diagnosed a few months later in one sentence.
Overall, the book was not well written and I do not fully understand her purpose in writing the book. It did not feel like an explanation or excuses or anything like that and although she did say she was trying to help people, I feel like that expression could have been better achieved through more discussion of how that found out she was Bipolar. At the end of the day, not a satisfying read.
