challenging emotional informative reflective fast-paced
A heartfelt account of Dylan's journey into womanhood. Very candid revelations of private moments from a very public persona. In the end, as strong a Dylan may see, she is just a girl who wants to be loved. I found this book a delight, I laughed several times, and then cried when some people made her life difficult. Highly recommend it.

Dyl, you’ll always have my heart. Did this book stay a little surface level? Sure, but what have we done to earn Dylan’s trust back since all of the negative media attention? I thought this demonstrated how alike women’s journeys are, not our differences. I feel like Dylan and I are sisters with more in common than ever.

An absolute gem of a book! I read it as an audiobook but a physical copy is just as good, especially with the gorgeous illustrations.

Dylan is so vulnerable and honest in this book, sharing diary entries during some difficult periods of her life.

I really loved the illustrations and the writing, which felt like kiki-ing with Dylan herself.

A must read for all, especially to find out about being trans from Dylan's perspective.

Beautifully honest, filled with humor & emotion. I was impressed with how much Dylan discussed while still keeping some things for herself. Famous or not, we all deserve privacy.

The best part about being a woman? There's no right way! I followed days of girlhood on tiktok and loved every moment shared with us. This book was even more real and got into the harder moments too <3
