4.04 AVERAGE


so beautiful, I love her so much and the book was really touching.

I finished this within a day. The book changed my perspective on lots of things; about fame, LA life, mental health, and lots of different things. I enjoyed answering journal prompts questions. I am horrible at writing reviews, but I can just say I never read book so fast as this one. As Madison and I have things we relate, I felt less alone reading it. I am so grateful for this book!

A few of you maybe wondering why the heck I didn’t give this book a rating. Well my answer is quite simple: it is not right for me to rate someone’s life story.

I have always known about Madison Beer and thought she was gorgeous and a good songwriter, but reading this book felt so intimate and helped me see Madison in a whole new light.

In this book Madison talks about a lot of the struggles she faced growing up, in the music industry, and with herself. Because of this, I didn’t find it fair to rate a book because if I for some reason gave this three stars, it feels like I am saying that her life is worth three stars. Not that I would EVER rate this book that low, that’s what it would feel like.

Madison shares so much wisdom in this book and it spoke to me in a lot of way. I hope more people take recognition of this book because it has already uprooted my life a lot. Thank you Madison.

Love,
Eden.

It just feels like a lot of feelings and thoughts with no coherent timeline. We get bits of 12,13,14,15 hop forward to 20? without a definite beginning, middle and this is where I am now.

It was just a mash of cliche, prose with no meat on the bones, journal exercises for the reader and questions she’s been asked (not sure who from?!?).

I really like her:)
emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

she’s so well spoken and put her thoughts into ways i could understand on a personal level. i think this book is gonna stick with me for ever and i hope i can incorporate her advice into my life 

madison just has a way with how she words things that makes you feel wrapped into the biggest hug. this book has made me shed so many tears as i can relate to so many struggles she speaks about but also reading about everything she gone through will never be easy, however i am the most grateful she made this book and makes me feel less alone. i could not be prouder of her. this is really special.

wowwwwww.
THIS TOOK ME HOURS cause i was annotating like the entire book (I finished in one sitting)
I feel so SEEN.
Thank you, Madison.
dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

I loved this book. I love Madison Beer's music, and I found her writing to be quite cathartic. I likes that this book wasn't written to be mind-blowing—that it was simply her talking to us through writing about her journey through fame. I found her to be comforting, someone, at least from what she wrote (and I'm not trying to encourage unhealthy parasocial relationships when I say this, despite it feeling true) that I might be friends with if we knew each other in real life. I loved Silence Between Songs, and I really hope that one day I can see her in concert.
