A review by booksofhails
The Half of It by Madison Beer

5.0

i really enjoyed this book! i love that it was narrated by madison, it made the book feel more authentic.

this is a great book for people who have experienced hardship in their life. it’s somewhat healing to know that even people that seem like they’ve got their whole life together have also been through some tough things.

i didn’t like the letters too much, or the journal prompts, during the audiobook reading. but, i think i would’ve enjoyed them during the physical book. i’ll have to go back when i have the time to sit and actually do the journal prompts.

it was nice of her to include the letters, and i’m sure it helped with content and with writing, but i wasn’t a huge fan of it. however, she answered the questions very well and i enjoyed listening to what she had to say.

this is a good book to read if you feel like you’re in a dark place and are feeling alone in it. it has some heavy topics in it, but it mostly focuses on the positive things.

i like getting to know the person behind the music sometimes, and madison seems like a good one. it made me want to support her and her music even more.

sometimes what we see isn’t what truly is, and people can portray themselves as whatever they want when it comes to social media. it’s something we often forget. it was nice to see behind the curtain for once.

i would definitely recommend reading this book.
