The Half of It

A Memoir

By: Madison Beer

Narrated by: Madison Beer

A memoir from singer-songwriter Madison Beer, chronicling the past decade of her life spent in the spotlight—the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens that you won’t see on social media.

Discovered at twelve years old, Madison Beer was one of the first artists to have her entire life documented online. Over the past decade, she has navigated the spotlight as a child, through her teenage years, and now as a young woman in her twenties.

In The Half of It, Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then. This memoir is an honest and unflinching account of self-love, mental health, and advocacy from one of the fastest-rising musical voices and most influential social media presences of her generation. It hammers home the point, more striking and urgent than ever, that no matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don’t know the half of it.

I got to know who’s Madison

Wow i been a fan of her for 3 years already and this book help me to get to know her more as a human. I love how she tells her story/half of it and now I want more im really proud how far she has come with so many struggles throughout her career but she has maintain to be strong and keep a good mental health. She has taught me how to take care of myself and my mental health.

Incredibly Brave Story

I am a man and I wasn’t really aware of Madison Beer before reading this. I listened to her on Call Me Daddy. After reading it, I find myself more aware of the struggles that women go through, especially those who are in the public eye all the time. I’m really grateful for her writing this, for her courage to share such vulnerable parts of herself, and for taking the stand she is for mental health and the health of all who experience trauma. I recommend this!

AMAZING

ate it up

if ur a fan of madison i highly recommend this she get very vulnerable and truthful about different aspects of her like outside and inside of fame and does it wonderfully as someone with bpd as well it’s nice to hear an example of how differently this disorder affects different kinds of people i hope she writes more books in the future the only thing she could’ve worked on is i thought the journal prompts were surface level but had excellent voice and conviction with her reading and writing

perfect

i’ve been a fan since 2014. it’s a joy to watch Madison grow and this book made me love her even much which i didn’t think was possible.
