Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer by Dylan Mulvaney

5.0

adventurous emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

Paper Doll dives so much deeper than that. Dylan welcomes us in to her world, from the highlight reel we see on TikTok, to the deep dark thoughts that come along with a massive smear campaign by the red hat brigade & online trolls.

Dylan takes this opportunity to share her struggles & vulnerability, with her signature humor woven in to the threads of her story.

Paper Doll is not a trans 101 guidebook, but the story of how one of our beloved TikTok icons has navigated life’s ups and downs, all while under the microphone, in an increasingly hostile world.

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to read this book with Dylan’s own voice - via audiobook. I love her voice & hearing her speak her story into the world elevates the reading experience for me to a whole new level.

This book is being released in a time where transgender folks are systematically being erased by our government, and visibility is important, now more than ever.

My wife is trans. Dylan, NetGalley, & Abrams, this book has been such a gift for me. Thank you for the audiobook ARC & sharing Dylan’s light with me.
