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
