What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘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
