Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer by Dylan Mulvaney

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative reflective

4.0

I remember watching Dylan’s first 100 days of girlhood on TikTok, and being aware of the backlash she received for living and thriving in a world that continues to barely allows transgender people to survive. 

Paper Doll: Notes from a late bloomer was a bittersweet anecdotal memoir, with Dylan narrating her story of coming out, parental relationships, accessing gender affirming care, and of course: going viral on TikTok throughout her early days of girlhood. 

I enjoyed listening to Dylan, and listened to her whole book in one day!
