Appreciated her vulnerability in this. Overall, this was pretty good! Better than I was anticipating and I liked that she narrated the audiobook version herself.

trigger warnings for this book: descriptions of panic attacks, depression, addiction, mentions sexual assault and harassment, self harm, and mentions suicide and suicidal ideations.
this review is based on content only; i’m not someone who feels comfortable critiquing the pacing or structure of the pieces of someone’s life story.
i’ll start this out by saying i’m probably a bit biased considering this is the first autobiography that i’ve been motivated to ever read. madison beer is someone that i’ve grown up with and feel as if i have a parasocial relationship with due to how much her music has essentially been a comfort blanket for me in some of the rougher portions of my own life.
this book provided me with a moving and vulnerable glimpse behind the curtains of madison’s life — and i can say that i feel closer to her than ever after reading it. she is beyond brave for sharing details of the traumas and struggles that were a byproduct of her stepping into the limelight at such a young age. writing down her experiences must have been such a cathartic experience for her and i’m glad that she dared to do so. after everything she’s been through, i’m so happy that she’s beginning to heal organically and step into her power. she honestly deserves nothing less.
the portion of the book i liked the most was the bits where she responded to questions/letters sent in by fans. it felt like an open honest conversation with a wealth of understanding and empathy. i think that’s obviously what makes madison so special, her unwavering connection and devotion to her fans. that ability to connect with strangers despite living such different lives, she’s able to tap into that thread that links us all together and it’s usually linked to shared pain.

“i only hope to leave you feeling like you know me a little bit better, for whatever it’s worth. i hope you see this as an example that we are all just human beings trying our best with the cades we’ve been dealt. i hope it prompts you to be a little softer, a little kinder, to both yourself and the people around you.”

I listened to this on audiobook. Although short and sometimes repetitive, I admire Madison Beer's vulnerability in her memoir. Speaking about her childhood, rise to fame, struggles, and mental health, puts into perspective what a lot of celebrities experience, and often we forget they are more like us than we realize. As a young celebrity, I commend Madison on her bravery!

I feel like this wasn’t a memoir. Jennette McCurdy’s book was a MEMOIR memoir. I love Madison Beer, but this book was repetitive about topics that stayed on the surface level when they could’ve gone deeper.
I am SO proud of her for opening up in this book and giving us a little glimpse into her story, but I’m not sure.. it was just very repetitive.. like actually the whole book was just the same old story told over and over.
I’m not discrediting her but i feel like she could’ve put this out in a few more years once she gets deeper into her career so that she could’ve written about more of her life.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing prompts/Q&A’s but I see what she was trying to do with it, and it was a little different/cool.
Overall was just tired of reading the same exact story in every single chapter; and this was very much more “diary” coded than memoir in my opinion.
excited to see what’s in store for her in the future!
