Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness by Suzy Favor Hamilton
1.0
If she wasn't overly descriptive about her escapades. I think it was a little too much. I regularly listen/read books about human trafficking that do NOT describe this much at all. I felt like I was listening to a porno book. There are ways to share without oversharing. I am even a bipolar hypersexual person myself (and an Olympian story junkie) and this just was so so sad and disturbing.
I would have shortened her sexual details to just letting us know she had sex, without describing everything. She didn't even describe sex with her own husband, just with everyone else. I feel sorry for him being "not as good" in bed in her own book.
I really loved the portions of this story that talked about her running and her upbringing. I think that was really great. The fact that she also talks about the pressures of drugs on athletes was so interesting too. I thought her talk about bipolar or depression and what her brother went through was also well done.
