The Half of It: A Memoir

Very touching, but I just don't think that anyone should write a memoir this early in life, there's too much more life she's going to live

I related to this memoir more than I thought I would. It made me realize many things and I am so glad I read this. I don't have much to say on it but I did enjoy this book a lot, and really recommend it for anyone who is struggling

“So different types of pain can all exist at once. It's not a competition of who has it worse. And someone else's pain doesn't take away from your own.”

This was a memoir I wasn't expecting but I am so glad that it was written.

The Half Of It is a true testimony of ‘it's not what it always seems'. On the surface, Madison seemed happy but sadly it wasn't like that behind closed doors. The things that she has had to deal with, the leaked photos and bullying she had to endure from such a young age are so heartbreaking and something she should have never had to deal with.

The hypocrisy that Hollywood and some of the general public have towards women in the industry never fails to anger me. The fact that Madison was a minor and the victim of her photos being leaked and instead of them caring about who leaked them or supporting her through the hard time, they blamed and villainized her.

As someone with BPD, it was so refreshing to see someone who has it, talk so candidly about it and how it affects the people who have it and those around us too. I am so proud of Madison for using the large platform that she has to speak up about these conditions and help create safe places for mental health awareness altogether.

What a fantastic memoir
