Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness by Sarah Tomlinson
2.0
The story of an Olympic athlete who later became an escort due to a mental disorder. The reason I don't like this book is just how sexual it is. Unfortunately the way this woman's bipolar disorder manifested was mostly a hyperactive sex drive, the thing that led her to becoming a call girl in Las Vegas and leaving her family behind. You'll read about her life as a teenager as she was getting into competitive sports, dealing with the pressures of that, and with her brother's suicide. Later on she explains how she got into escorting and what that life was look.
The book ends when a reporter outs her in a front page scandal, forcing her to quit her fun life. A few months later she receives her bipolar diagnosis.
I wish she talked more about her recovery and life after diagnosis.
