She was only eleven-and-a-half inches tall, but she would change the world. 🩷 

Thank you, PRH Audio, for gifting me the audio for Let's Call Her Barbie! 

 

 

Growing up, I wouldn't consider myself much of a Barbie enthusiast -- I had them, but they weren't my primary source of entertainment. However, as an adult, I can appreciate Barbie's impact on young girls. Let's Call Her Barbie does an incredible job of tracing the doll's rich and colorful history. 

 

But I wasn't prepared for the emotional weight of the story. It was heavy at times, reflecting on people's struggles and sacrifices to pursue beauty, perfection, and power. The book delves into the darker side of fame and the toll it can take on a person. 

 

 

Audiobook Review: ☆☆☆☆.5 

Narrated by Abigail Reno, a fresh voice for me, I found her narration soothing and engaging. I started listening at 1.2x speed, and once I got comfortable, I bumped it up to 1.5x. 

 

📖 Short Chapters 

🐌 Slow-paced stories 

🧐 Well-researched books 

🫶🏼 Characters based on real people 

 

If you're curious about the history behind the iconic doll and how Barbie shaped society (both positively and negatively), Let's Call Her Barbie is one you should add to your reading list.
