This week Tayla is joined by Allison Horrocks and Mary Mahoney, hosts of the podcast Dolls of Our Lives and authors of the book by the same name. They discuss why they decided to make a podcast about American Girl and why these dolls appeal to so many young people. They also discuss J.Lo, podcasts leading to a reading deep dive, and mysteries. During The Last Chapter they discuss: Which American Girl do you think you’re most like?
