Umwerfend! Ich dachte nicht das Madison Beers Memoir mein persönliches Selbstreflexionsbuch wird...  Es war sehr inspirierend!
Madison Beer wurde mit 12 Jahren(!!) durch ein Youtube Video weltberühmt. Im Buch erzählt sie von ihren intimsten (positiven aber auch traumatischen) Momenten & zeigt einen Behind the Scenes Einblick wie es ist sehr jung in die Musikindustrie einzusteigen.
Sie schreibt wie eine Freundin die mir erklärt wie es ist berühmt zu sein und erzählt von ihren dunkelsten Lebensabschnitten. Ich hatte nichts davon erwartet und es tat mir sehr leid darüber zu lesen. Man sollte das Buch wohl eher in einem mental stabilen Zustand lesen (+Triggerwarnungen abchecken). Es war jedoch auch sehr hoffnungsvoll & motivierend.

"No matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don't know the half of it."

Authentic. Vulnerable. Inspiring. Healing.

I would kill to get this book into the hands of my 15 year old self. I was underlining things in this book like a madwoman.

Being only one year younger than Madison I feel like I connected immediately with her which sounds dumb but really hearing her talk about my generation and the internet and growing up with it effected me unbelievably.

She’s so vulnerable and at the same time guarded and knows when not to give every detail. Having journal prompts and Q&A with fans was a brilliant and personal touch.

Having her call out the patriarchy and cancel culture point blank was visceral. Let’s all be a little nicer to each other in the internet
reflective medium-paced

Madison beer is someone inspiring but her book is long, she kinda ramble. 

No esperaba que me resultara algo tan personal, sinceramente. Es posible que me llegara tanto porque lo leí durante mis primeros días con antidepresivos. Ahora entiendo a lo que se refiere la gente con que Madison Beer es tan cercana al "mundo real" y que no tiene esta imagen de estrella inalcanzable. La forma en la que habla de su trastorno bipolar y estrés postraumático resuenan mucho conmigo, aunque yo empatice por otro lado.

Me alegro mucho de haberlo leído porque no solamente humaniza más a una persona que admiro, sino que ella misma repite que no nos fiemos de las imágenes públicas de la gente, hasta que se me ha quedado grabado en el cerebro. No es un libro que le recomiende a mis amigues porque nadie de mi entorno disfruta de la música de Madison Beer, pero es una lectura que necesitaba, y mucho.

4.5 ⭐️

Wow, Madison really surprised me…

I've been listening to her music for more than 6 years, listening her grow up, learn and make mistakes. And this book really makes you understand her better, to know the background of certain songs and videos, of moments in her life in which we could only see a part of the story through a screen.

Reading her words made me appreciate her music and her as a person even more.

Now if you excuse me, I’m going to listen to “Life Support” time and time again ❤️‍

wow. i finished this in one sitting. i quite literally could not put it down.
i’ve been a fan of madison pretty much since the beginning… but with that being said, i never really took a deep-dive into her life. i simply listened to her music and followed her on social media.
after reading this book, i have more respect and admiration for her. not only do i feel like i ghost wrote this book (my name is madison lol) but madison has helped me acknowledge different things in my life.
10/10 book. 100/10 author/artist. 10000/10 person.
emotional sad slow-paced
