About this listen

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 know Madison ever since she begun thanx to my belieber era. I am so thankful I got to read this book not from the perapective of a fan. This book holds so much growth and gratitude and I think I found it in the best time possible. I hope I’ll come back to the journal prompts but idk, just made for girls in their 20’s⭐️

This book is imo amazing. I know i dont know maddisons whole life but this is sad that society treats people like this. We dont know how it feels to be powerless and lonely like she was thru the hate and depression.

I really liked her story. It is so relatable, and absolutely that makes her book so good. She said that she intended to write her story to help others with their mental issues. She absolutely delivered. What an amazing book. She is just a beautiful person with incredible talent. I was listening to it, and 4 hours flew by. I am definitely going to listen to it over and over again.

I am not going to lie, I cried multiple times while reading. That’s also because she herself narrated it. That makes the book even better. She’s not one of those ‘lazy’ artists who are ‘too busy’ to narrate their own book. I respect Madison for narrating her own book (as it is her story, and no one else’s).

This book helped me to get to know my favorite artist even better. Besides that, it really helped me to overcome some of my mental battles. It just gave me strength, and I thank Madison for this. I really recommend this book to everyone who has a heart for Madison, her music, or if you just love mental health books.

I hope she releases another book in the future because, indeed, that is just another one of her many talents. Madison, never stop making music, and never stop inspiring people!

Perfect for mental health and very relatable (10/10)
