'DYLAN MAKES ME LAUGH AND MAKES ME BRAVE. I LOVE PAPER DOLL AND I LOVE THIS WOMAN' Glennon Doyle, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Untamed

When Dylan Mulvaney came out as a woman online, she was a viral sensation almost overnight, emerging as a trailblazing voice on social media. Dylan's personal coming-out story blossomed into a platform for advocacy and empowerment for trans people all over the world.

Through her "Days of Girlhood" series, she connected with followers by exploring what it means to be a girl, from experimenting with makeup to story times to spilling the tea about laser hair removal, while never shying away from discussing the transphobia she faced online. Nevertheless, she was determined to be a beacon of positivity.

But shortly after she celebrated day 365 of being a girl, it all came screeching to a halt when an innocuous post sparked a media firestorm and right-wing backlash she couldn't have expected. Despite the vitriolic press and relentless paparazzi, Dylan was determined to remain loud and proud.

In Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer, Dylan pulls back the curtain of her "It Girl" lifestyle with a witty and intimate reflection of her life pre- and post-transition. She covers everything from her first big break in theatre to the first time her dad recognized her as a girl to how she handled scandals, cancellations, and . . . tucking. It's both laugh-out-loud funny and powerfully honest-and is a love letter to everyone who stands up for queer joy.
