if you didn’t know her already or was a fan of her in some way, the book is another gen z social media musician influencer cash grab memoir. Long winded review incoming: As a teenager I was raised in a very conservative house by a mother who often criticized other women, especially the beautiful and famous. In "The Half of It", Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then. all i’ve known about her so far is that she was found on youtube by justin bieber, she’s had social media famous boyfriends and she’s stunningly beautiful to the point people hate her for it.

Ellie sets up Paul on a date with Aster, but it goes badly because hr is unable to converse with her like she can. It was inspiring to hear how other people, who you may not think struggle with anxiety and depression, get through it. this was also my first memoir, and i absolutely loved the way it was formatted, with the journal prompts and fan questions. If you were the one walking on the street for a cup of coffee and were suddenly invited by the flashy cameras, how would you feel?

I knew about the leak of her nudes, I knew about all the hate she received because of her famous boyfriend and I knew how much she has struggled ever since her teenage years.

The singer, 24, revealed her memoir The Half Of It would be released in the UK this August, some four months after it dropped in the USA. I love how the book was formatted with all the prompts, journals, and fan questions and I'm pretty sure I annotated so much of the book. It's insane how much being harassed online affects her daily life, where she can't do anything without questioning if someone's filming her, taking pictures of her, or wanting to meet her just to shit on her for it online.

Of course she acknowledges the fact that fame is the common denominator in most of her mental issues, but I really appreciated the humane approach she took in terms of the problems and the obstacles she faced. I want to begin this review by stating that I will not review the contents of a memoir, because it is someone’s life.
