About this audiobook
Dawn O’Porter has been thinking a lot about life.
Mostly from a cupboard (and she’s definitely not hiding from her children).
Fearless, funny and unflinchingly real, Life in Pieces is a diary of a time we’ll all remember forever – laughing through the tears, finding comfort in the chaos and (in Dawn’s case, at least) discovering the life-changing properties of a midday margarita.
So if you need a shake-up in your life, here’s the tonic – with a perfect splash of tequila…
‘What should you expect? Tears, belly laughs and to come out the other side wanting Dawn O’Porter 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

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I dont like to rate Nonfiction books but this was bloody brilliant. Funny, heart-breaking, relatable, inspiring, educational. I loved the audio and hearing Dawn saying the things with the inflictions intended as she was writing them, it was like she was just having a chat with you. Hearing her breakdown about caroline was devestating and im glad it was left in like that and not just read straight - i wanted to give her a hug.
But mostly i wanted a cocktail with her! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyed the book a lot, different to Dawn's fiction writing,
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/52020 what a year!! Fabulous read...or indeed listen!
Love the work D.O.P
