Life in Pieces

Written by Dawn O’Porter

Narrated by Dawn O’Porter

*The fresh, frank and very funny new novel from Dawn O’Porter – CAT LADY – is available to buy now*

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

Reviews for Life in Pieces

[Fallon · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I 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!
