Life in Pieces: From the Sunday Times Bestselling author of Cat Lady, comes a bold, brilliant, and hilarious book to curl up with: From the Sunday Times ... and hilarious book to curl up with 2021

I've always been drawn to Dawn's candid attitude, humour, vintage garments and love of food. I'm only half way through but had to leave a review. I'm really enjoying her account on lockdown, which I'm sure many fellow Mums will find comforting and reassuring. (Side note, I'm loving her mentions of meal ideas that she integrates within her narrative - lots of little nuggets in there for foodies.) Lockdown was such a monumental time for so many and reading a book like this allows us to acknowledge and also process all that has passed. As a trainee Psychotherapist and wellbeing writer, I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone looking for a cathartic yet entertaining read - a way to better understand what we went through, a chance to process it all, all through the eyes of a Dawn - who embodies that 'honest and funny girl friend' you would enjoy a margarita or two with. Lovely job, Dawn. Would love to read more life writing from you.

I can't recommend this book enough, or maybe I'm just bias. I have always admired Dawn, and my admiration and love for her has gone even deeper. This is a very human, emotional, humble, and warm story of life during lockdown, all whilst coping with unimaginable grief. Found it hard to put down, and found it even harder as I knew it was coming to an end.Also... for me especially... her compassion. It made the whole experience of readership very personal, as if this were the story of a life being shared to the reader alone. I will more than likely read this again... and again... she feels like a very good friend, writing a very long WhatsApp message, rather than the author of a book.Thank you Dawn... I hope you and yours are ok ❤

This is the first book of this type I read. I’ve never read an autobiography. Despite the fact this is not an actual autobiography, I liked it very much. After reading it I felt like I had known Dawn personally for ages. This book describes Dawns life during pandemic. I’m not a mother myself but I know a few mothers 😉 and this book describes their lives too…entertaining your children during pandemic, the cooking and drinking and boredom and anxiety and frustration and happiness 😊 I followed Dawn for years on social media but I always thought that what she writes it’s not something I want to read. And then I bought all her books and I liked them very much.

Brilliant book, funny and honest. Would highly recommend this book. Dawn O'Porter let's you into her life during lockdown with some hillarious outcomes and discusses her own personal tragedies. I really enjoyed this book

I like Dawn on Insta so have this a go as it was on offer in kindle. It's really entertaining and a good way to spend a few afternoons in lockdown. It does seem a bit "cobbled together" (there are a good few repeated paragraphs in there), but overall I'd recommend.

Since I lost my dad (2019) I’ve found reading difficult but at the same time I feel better when I read so I try and try, I’ve started maybe 10 books and finished maybe 2, this being one of them.When Dawn talks about grief it’s so comforting and I could feel her words, recognise those feelings and the rollercoaster of it all. The format of the book meant I could do short bursts is that all I could manage. I’m a mum too and lockdown with little ones is let’s say a challenging experience (know I’m lucky to have a small human to focus on though) also there’s tequila, I drink margaritas now!

Good book with a good storyline. The price is great too. I don't think you would be dissapointed

I love Dawn and follow her on social media generally just loving her and her updates on her life. So I went into this knowing it would be good.What I didn’t quite expect was how I would relate to it, and take joy from what felt like a shared experience. As a first time mum in a pandemic, knowing that mums the world over with far more experience than me were tearing there hair out whilst equally rejoicing in their family time really helped!Reading her talk so frankly of her grief.She’s flamboyant and brutally honest about life. And in a very scary human year it was lovely to read something equally, unflinchingly, real
