Alyson Stoner to Release Memoir in 2025

Alyson Stoner, known for roles in Disney's 'The Suite Life of Zach and Cody' and 'Camp Rock', is set to release a memoir titled 'Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything' in the summer of 2025. The memoir will detail Stoner's tumultuous experiences as a child star, including their 'turbulent home life', struggles with addiction, and the process of discovering their sexuality. Stoner, who began working 80-hour weeks at the age of eight, aims to expose the 'toddler to trainwreck pipeline' in the entertainment industry, while also sharing personal truths previously kept hidden due to legal contracts. They hope the book will serve as a catalyst for broader discussions about the challenges faced by child stars and prompt a reckoning in Hollywood. Stoner describes the memoir as an intimate journey of mental health and self-development, emphasizing the need for openness about the realities of growing up in the industry. The announcement follows Stoner's recent appearance in Demi Lovato's documentary, 'Child Star', which reflects on their shared experiences in Hollywood.
