Publisher's Summary

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.

Vulnerable

I’ve been a silent follower of Madison Beer for a few years now. I’ve known of her since her first single and it was very interested in get to know more about her through her memoir.

I was very intrigued to listen to this so I could feel more connected to her and her story. Not knowing much about her (besides what she posts on social media) she was very vulnerable and open about her journey with fame and her person struggles.

My biggest criticism would be the journal prompts. I felt like they weren’t necessary, but I can understand from her point of view the reasoning behind having them.

Inside look to what happened as a minor

I watched Madison’s appearance on Call Her Daddy podcast and knew I wanted to listen to her book. She opens real discussions about what it’s like growing up in the music industry as a minor and things that happened that changed her life, i got Audible to listen to her book and it didn’t disappoint at all. Love you Madison <3
