Fast Girls: A Novel of the 1936 Women's Olympic Team by Elise Hooper

2.0

As a runner, I was really excited to read this book, and am grateful to have received an ARC from the Goodreads Giveaways. Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. The characters and dialogue felt stilted and bland, and the action of the novel didn't draw me in until Part 4 (...of four.) Perhaps I am just not a fan of novelizations of real-life historical figures? These women have fascinating stories to tell, but by the end of this novel I had zero emotional attachment to the characters.
