NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A piercing account (The Wall Street Journal) of surviving as a young woman in a society that rewards appearances more than anything and demands perfection at all costsespecially if youre an Olympic figure skater.
A riveting memoir, which details her experience with an eating disorder, depression and her high-stakes career.People (Best Books to Read in February 2024)
When Gracie Gold stepped onto center stage (or ice, rather) as Americas sweetheart at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, she instantly became the face of Americas most beloved winter sport. Beautiful, blonde, Midwestern, and media-trained, she was suddenly being written up everywhere from The New Yorker to Teen Vogue to People and baking cookies with Taylor Swift.
But little did the public know what Gold was facing when the cameras were off, driven by the self-destructive voice inside that she calls outofshapeworthlessloser. In 2017, she entered treatment for what was publicly announced as an eating disorder and anxiety treatment but was, in reality, suicidal ideation. While Golds public star was rising, her private life was falling apart: Cracks within her family were widening, her bulimia was getting worse, and she became a survivor of sexual assault. The pressure of training for years with demanding coaches and growing up in a household that accepted nothing less than gold had finally taken its toll.
Now Gold reveals the exclusive and harrowing story of her struggles in and out of the pressure-packed world of elite figure skating: the battles with her family, her coaches, the powers-that-be at her federation, and her deteriorating mental health.
Outofshapeworthlessloser is not only a forceful reckoning from a world-class athlete but also an intimate memoir, told with unflinching honesty and stirring defiance.
