In the Water They Can't See You Cry by Amanda Beard

4.0

3 1/2 stars but I'm feeling generous so I'll round up. As far as athlete memoirs go, this was pretty well written. I almost wonder if she had a ghost writer, mostly because she divulges that she has mild dyslexia and always struggled in school and with reading. Going through the book, I thought that she was incredibly self aware and sounded like perhaps she'd been through a great deal of therapy. This turns out to be accurate. I respect her for her journey and seeking help though many times I wanted to shake the crap out of her and scream "Look at what you are doing to yourself!" I'm glad that everything has worked out and it sounds like she's in a really good place now.
