This is my longest review ever, because this book, deserves it all. A book that everyone needs to read in 2020. This book caused a shift in my thinking, my self believe and my motivation to dig myself out of my lockdown slumber. Dawn O Porter Thank you!

I sat on my bed after a late night watching the women's us open semi finals by 4.30am Serena is out and its 4.30am. Woke to an email from Harper Collins to invite me to read Dawn O Porter new book Life in Pieces, I went straight to Amazon to have a mooch. Ooo this could be interesting.

I started reading, I thought I will read the introduction. OMG a tear run down my face first from laughing about weed gummies and kaftans. Then Caroline Flack I got goose bumps and I didnt put down my kindle I kept reading.

Hello Mr Pandemic, Dawn writes like she is talking directly to you. The lockdown of 2020 it's harsh reality for a working mum and parenting. I laughed so hard as I can only imagine having young children through this year of covid.

The most in depth totally on point review of Twitter and its, wrath I have ever read. Hi five Dawn.

Dawn analysis of parenting is insightful....
Lego is hard... I laughed so much.

A must read for everyone, we were all in this together in 2020 and to share experiences like this is the best thing to come away with. We can't kick covid ass but we can laugh with Dawn O Porter.

I didn't know Caroline Flack personally, but her death floored me purely because she was such a bright light on my TV, I miss her too. Respect for a truly lovely discussion of some memories and a true awareness of how her death affected those closest to her so deeply

It started off well enough but it quickly stagnated. It's VERY repetitive and it could have been a 10 pages book. Although, if I'm being honest, it shouldn't have been a book at all. I like the way Dawn writes but I didn't see the point in this. Absolutely nothing remotely interesting happened - although it is a collection of stories of what she got up to in lockdown so what was I expecting, really? The only saving grace is that I got it for 99p on a kindle deal.

One star because I did enjoy the first few chapters (before everything was repeated over and over in future chapters), and one star for her writing style.
