Product Information

Dawn also collects vintage clothing, and admits to writing her best work when she is wearing a bonkers seventies dress and her hair is a voluminous bob.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dawn O'Porter's last book, The Cows, so was really looking forward to trying this new offering.Award-winning performer and playwright Sarah Jones talks to Dawn about love, the challenges of the entertainment industry, and how we define luck. Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The plot is based on a simple idea that snowballs into something completely different and compelling. Problems are lurking behind the scenes, and Lauren is trapped, trying to keep her life afloat and picture-perfect, even when he marriage might be in danger.Once I was walking through an airport and they were giving out samples, and this woman sprayed me with it before a long haul flight. I’m very low-maintenance in general, and a lot of people commented on how I didn’t look like an American presenter. I was raised by a dressmaker – my uncle made furs – and he’d turn clothes inside out and show me how they were stitched together, and I have so much sensory nostalgia for what my mum was like. O'Porter takes a candid look at her characters' lives, with a well deserved swipe at social media served up with a warning re how to view the worlds of others.

There's some pretty hilarious scenes and some shocking ones too - but what else would we expect from Dawn O'Porter?A timely reminder that appearances nearly always conceal a darker, painful truth lurking beneath and that social media only shows a tiny window into a person's real life. Interestingly, none of these women know each other, but as events unfold their timelines slowly become connected, leading up to one single event.
