Funny, intimate and honest Louis Theroux
Moving and funny. I absolutely loved it Claudia Winkleman
Heartbreaking, hilarious, comforting Marie Claire
Dawn OPorter has been thinking a lot about life.
Mostly from a cupboard (and shes definitely not hiding from her children).

Fearless, funny and unflinchingly real, Life in Pieces is a diary of a time well all remember forever laughing through the tears, finding comfort in the chaos and (in Dawns case, at least) discovering the life-changing properties of a midday margarita.

So if you need a shake-up in your life, heres the tonic with a perfect splash of tequila

What should you expect Tears, belly laughs and to come out the other side wanting Dawn OPorter to be your best friend Marie Claire

I've rattled through it . . . Dawn O'Porter redresses the balance by telling it as it really has been: fighting a losing battle against a tide of mess, noise and need, and holding out for 5pm to crack open the tequila Mark Watson

Moving and funny. I absolutely loved it Claudia Winkleman

An intimate, honest account of the first three months of isolation . . . Her book is a paean to what is truly important Telegraph

It is very funny but also intimate and honest Louis Theroux

Poignant and funny Red

I've rattled through it . . . There's been a lot of well-meaning but mad advice on how to contend with the strangest period of human history any of us has ever lived through. Dawn O'Porter redresses the balance by telling it as it really has been, for many of us: holding out for 5pm to crack open the tequila Mark Watson

Funny and heart-rending in equal measure Sunday Express
