The Half of It by Madison Beer

4.0

I'm a casual fan of Madison and I enjoyed this read. it was accessible and I enjoyed reading about her perspective growing up famous on social media. I do feel like the negatives of fame are not often discussed enough and I think a lot of people could benefit from reading her story and understanding the effects of hateful comments and having millions of eyes on you. for me though, I have watched several of Madison's interviews before, so I feel like I didn't gain much new information about Madison from reading this book that I hadn't already heard in podcasts.

all in all, it was a good first memoir by Madison and I'm glad I read it. just wish it were a bit longer/ gave more details about her upbringing or life before she was famous!
