Beschreibung

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.

Den Journaling Teil fand ich persönlich etwas überflüssig- sonst eine bewegende Autobiographie

»Being loved by thousands didn’t mean I loved myself. Not at all.« Allein dieser Satz ist ein Grund, dieses Buch zu lesen. Madison Beer hat meinen allergrößten Respekt und meine Hochachtung. Sie ist unglaublich ehrlich und stark und es bricht mir das Herz, was sie alles durchmachen musste. Große und wichtige Empfehlung!

Incredibly touching, vulnerable, full of heart and empathy. I went into this story knowing a little bit I'd say about Madison, and admiring her already for touching on so many so called touchy subjects haha but after reading this memoir, I look up to her even more! Reading how she tells her story and opens up about so many deep and personal things is truly mind boggling, gut wrenching and heart warming. Plus the journal prompts to fill in yourself are such a sweet aspect that I'm so looking forward to! As a reader and fan of hers you truly feel connected with her ❤️

Ganz gut

Madison Beer bleibt auch nach diesem Buch ein Geheimnis für mich aber das ist ja auch das was sie will. Ich konnte mich oft mit ihr identifizieren und mitfühlen. Trotzdem wurde es gegen Ende recht langweilig und halt keine so tiefe Biografie, wie ich es gewohnt bin, deswegen 3 Sterne.

Madison is a young woman who has been through hell in back in her personal as well as professional life. I have always loved and related to her as a person and her music so much. This book means a lot to me, I’m proud of her for speaking up and sharing her story so she’s finally more to people than a beautiful face. I just hate that people still don’t even know she makes music when I bring her up. She’s an artist through and through. Loved getting to know her more in this and I loved the personal approach. Didn’t love the way chapters were set up but other than that, would recommend for anyone interested in artists behind the scenes or mental health.
