PAPER DOLL Notes from a Late Bloomer

This spirited memoir is narrated by its author, the talented, lovely actress Dylan Mulvaney. Her robust and delightful performance fully conjures the colorful life she's lived--from her first budding aspirations for the stage to the inspiring woman she is today. Of course, the audiobook heavily focuses on her gender transition later in life and the negative feedback she's received at times. But Mulvaney's positive outlook and the small words of encouragement she received from fans will have listeners beaming in appreciation, too. Her heartfelt, entertaining performance flows at a perfect pace. Mulvaney teaches us to treat ourselves with love and patience and not to spend too much time listening to other people's comments.
