Madison Beer

4.04 AVERAGE

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

i respect her so much, she went through a lot even though i know she has flaws personally, but she is a good person and an amazing artist. i’ve never felt more seen by anyone

this book was free therapy actually

i hope madison beer is having a good day today 🫶🏽

I’ve always been a fan of Madison’s powerhouse voice, beauty and the warm, empath light she gives off. Some of her songs have really spoken to me and I shouldn’t have been so surprised to have many gems from her book move me as well. From a fans perspective, I could tell Madison has been through a lot and seemed to be misunderstood so I was intrigued to hear her tell her story. I decided to listen to the audio book on a whim and found myself tearing up many times and wanting to give her a hug for all she’s been through, how far she’s come and for feeling seen through her words. The concept of the title is beautiful and profound, much like her music, and I’m excited to maybe someday read the “rest of it”.

I didn’t expect to listen to this in one sitting, but I couldn’t stop!
I’ve always admired Madison as an artist, but this memoir gave me a whole new perspective on her. It’s incredibly touching and authentic. She opens up in such a vulnerable way, sharing the darkest parts of her life, starting from her childhood. She delves into her insecurities, the damage caused by social media, and the immense hatred she faced at such a young age.
It’s a powerful and eye-opening read that left a lasting impression.

finished this book in one sitting and it just means so much to me. hearing madison’s story inspired me to reflect on my own and the tools and advice she included are so valuable to my own life. madison beer you’re an angel, thank u for sharing your story <3

Theme: Read a Memoir

* BookClub Me, Myself & I is just a "book club" where I pick up a prompt each month and I have to "force" myself to read a book that fits that prompt.



I don't particularly like to rate autobiographies because it seems senseless but I feel like everyone who knows this young woman (either because they're fans or they've heard of her) should read this book and realise how much she has gone through in pursue of her music career (and before) and how she continues to be a gentle soul.

I've been a fan of her since she started her music career and seeing so painfully written what she went through is just heartbreaking. Seeing the things I saw through her own words is just... I hope she never loses her light and kindness.

Meh. It’s basically a teenage self-help book and 79% of it is the author complaining about how she has been bullied online her entire career. Good for her for writing it. I’m sure that took a great deal of courage.
