Another things I really appreciated was her discussing her presence cemented on the internet; people can talk all they want about “you chose this, and if you can’t handle it, why don’t you stop?” 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. The singer shared the news on social media, writing that it felt “truly surreal to be announcing this book” and that she was excited to share her story. She wrote that the book will cover “the reality of being signed at twelve, to everything that followed, where i am now, and my journey of reconciling with everything that came before.”

I also loved the sections with prompted journal entries surrounding the experiences she discussed in the previous chapter. It was very similar to Rupi Kaur’s “Healing through Words,” but I’ve never seen it included in a memoir like that. It really added to the idea that this is not just a memoir about Madison, but a learning experience to rethink your own experiences. I will also argue that Madison poses many thought-provoking ideas in this book. She pushes the reader to think critically about their own mental health and is inspiring in some of the things she says.

I saw myself reflected in her words, thoughts and insecurities and i felt comfortably close to her in that regard. 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.

The Half Of It is a true testimony of ‘it’s not what it always seems’. On the surface, Madison seemed happy but sadly it wasn’t like that behind closed doors. The things that she has had to deal with, the leaked photos and bullying she had to endure from such a young age are so heartbreaking and something she should have never had to deal with. 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. My favorite thing about the whole book are the chapters where Madison pulls you to write about your own experiences by asking questions that connect with her own. It made me feel like i was spilling all of my thoughts to someone who could relate to me on a very intimate level. My heart breaks for what Madison has been through and i feel like a lot of people - especially women - will relate to the dark parts she decided to share in this memoir.

The singer, 24, revealed her memoir The Half Of It would be released in the UK this August, some four months after it dropped in the USA. In the book, the Good In Goodbye songstress gives a raw account of the past decade of her life spent in the spotlight.

She's candid about her experience with mental health, how she battled suicidal thoughts while making her debut album Life Support, and her recovery since. Madison is close with her fans, both online and in person - but her memoir highlights that no matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don’t know the half of it. As someone with BPD, it was so refreshing to see someone who has it, talk so candidly about it and how it affects the people who have it and those around us too. I am so proud of Madison for using the large platform that she has to speak up about these conditions and help create safe places for mental health awareness altogether. Beer added that while it has taken her ” a lot of extremely dark times to get here,” she felt “incredibly ready to tell you these chapters of my story. i hope you love it. i can’t wait to reintroduce myself to you.” Do I feel sad for what Madison went through and is probably still going through? Absolutely. Reading certain parts of this book truly made me angry at the world for not helping a victim. It made me angry at the music industry for the way it chews up and spits out children with no regard for their health. And it made me angry with the way young women are treated in the US, especially those who have a platform.

The hypocrisy that Hollywood and some of the general public have towards women in the industry never fails to anger me. The fact that Madison was a minor and the victim of her photos being leaked and instead of them caring about who leaked them or supporting her through the hard time, they blamed and villainized her.So different types of pain can all exist at once. It’s not a competition of who has it worse. And someone else’s pain doesn’t take away from your own.” Thank you Madison for this brilliant book! You're a wonderful soul, a brave woman and a beautiful (inside out) human being! Always remember that you're loved, you're worthy, you're enough and you're strong! There's so much in this world to be grateful for, to love and to live for! I really hope that you'll find the things and the people that make you happy and that you will always try to keep them close to you! floralbethx added: "PLEASE UK BOOK TOUR @madisonbeer @madisonbeerhq" and @iamrobbiez wondered: "WILL MADISON DO A UK BOOK TOUR".
