Summary of Lauren Graham's Talking as Fast as I Can

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and after a few weeks my family moved to Japan. I had a Japanese nanny, Sato-san, who taught me my first word: o-heso, which is Japanese for belly button.

#2 My parents were very young when they got married. They had me when they were both just twenty-two years old. They were very young, and it was decided that I should stay with my dad. They parted as friends, and my father moved us to the Virgin Islands.

#3 When I was five years old, we moved to Southampton, New York, presumably to live in a house that couldn’t be dive-bombed off of, and I started kindergarten. I was sent to the office of a groovy guy named Mike, who asked me if I was bored in kindergarten. I convinced him that making chains out of construction paper for an entire year would be beneath me intellectually.

#4 I had always been able to fit in with people, but skipping a grade gave me the sense that I’d been given an extra year. I thought life was a massive competition to reach a certain finish line.
