The Half of It: A Memoir

Product Information

In a short video clip shared on social media, she's seen writing on a whiteboard which has the title of all the songs written out, with letters missing. Madison released the single 'Home To Another One' in June, which has already had more than 17 million streams on Spotify. 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.

But this book truly brought me closer to her and made me feel so much empathy towards her. We're actually the same age, so I've always felt some kind of connection and "special" understanding, but her book totally helped me see her from an entirely different perspective, and a very positive one actually.

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. 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. I hope by sharing my honest journey that perhaps someone that wanted to hide behind a keyboard to be mean or poke fun at someone else’s expense thinks twice before they hit ‘send.’ I hope that we can find the strength to support each other and that we can work to treat others in the way we would want to be treated.

floralbethx added: "PLEASE UK BOOK TOUR @madisonbeer @madisonbeerhq" and @iamrobbiez wondered: "WILL MADISON DO A UK BOOK TOUR".I had a really hard time trying to figure out what rating to give this book, but I decided to settle for 4 stars. At the end of the day, I would give it 5 stars based on the themes, the vulnerability, the gentleness and the overall reading experience, but I believe that, from an objective point of view and in terms of the writing and the structure, it deserves 3 stars. Probably because Madison excels in other things (music of course) and not really in writing. And that's perfectly fine!

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! this book is a short and easy read though by 60% i was struggling to finish the book. the topics were repetitive, the same paragraphs about internet bullies, her feeling suicidal and about how people shouldn’t be bullies. this would have worked for two or three chapters but that’s all it was. 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'm incredibly grateful I read this and I'm incredibly proud of Madison for speaking up. I'm not sure if she'll ever read this, but I really hope that this entire writing process served as some kind of healing for her and I pray that she is in a much better place right now. This book encouraged me to be more gentle, kind, patient, empathetic and understanding towards not only others, but myself as well. Because, at the end of the day, the only person that will be there for me through my brightest and my darkest times is myself.
