About this listen

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

Critic reviews

‘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

I laughed and I cried, this was a great book, even better when being read by Dawn herself. I enjoyed every moment

Loved it

I have never purchased an audio book but my eyes aren’t so great these days so thought I would give it a go. I have followed Dawn on social media for years and always loved what she had to say as she always seemed “real”.
I’m not sure what I expected from the book but it listened to it on holiday. I sat by the pool laughing and crying and reflecting on my own lockdown experiences. I also feel inspired to cook more and maybe have more tequila. Great read (listen).

First ever audio book and a great one to start with

95% utterly hilarious and 5% deeply moving. The perfect balance in my opinion. I find it incredible how Dawn can make you feel like she is talking directly to you. It is raw, honest writing and I enjoyed every minute of it, from the occasional tears to the many, many laughs.

Completely fantastic
