Resumen del Editor

*The Sunday Times bestseller*

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…

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Funny, intimate and honest." (Louis Theroux)

"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: holding out for 5pm to crack open the tequila." (Mark Watson)

"Moving and funny. I absolutely loved it." (Claudia Winkleman)

Life in Lockdown

This is the second Dawn O' Porter audio book that I have listened to. Dawn shares her days in lockdown at home with her family. This is a daily journal of her experiences during this COVID-19 times with her husband Chris, two small boys ages 5 & 2 and her pets. You might think that listening to some else's experiences, especially in a day to day format would be quite boring or tedious, but this is not the case with Life in Pieces. Dawn has an amazing capacity for reality and expressing it in way that her reader's or in this case listeners can not only participate in, but relive with her those experiences. I recommend this audio book, as it is not only funny, but also deeply emotional towards her favorite friend, who she lost. This is a focal point part of the story that Dawn shares, as well as her own choices towards Black Lives Matter. Listen carefully at her own experiences and the important lessons she has tried to learn concerning diversity. Personally, I have all ways found it difficult to judge a person by the color of their skin. Some of the most intelligent men & woman I have met, or work with in my life have been of color. I believe the Dawn cares very much about her world as mother, wife and writer and that in her own way she is trying to make a positive change to the world and her two small sons, Art & Valentine. I really like that Dawn reads her own books, it adds to the overall value to readers & listeners experience. I do personally wish the language used at times for expression purposes be less offensive, but that's just me, probably just old school. Don't let that stop you from learning the message. Thank you Dawn for your final closing words, the message is so powerful for the future that I won't forget it.

Fabulous funny and frank

This is a wonderful text describing quarantine in the USA.
Dawn is honest and shares everything. I cried and laughed. I love Dawn and want to listen to all of her books. Relatable for people who have ever been in quarantine (that’s all of ya folks).
