A hugely relatable, funny, honest and inspirational 'memoir of sorts' in which Dawn celebrates what it means to be gloriously, messily human

When I was younger I wanted to be an interesting, sophisticated, semi-heroic, multi-layered person.

BUT. That kind of perfect is impossible. Being an actual twat is much more the real me. Sorry to boast, but I am a champion twat.

In The Twat Files I will tell you about all the times I've been a total and utter twat. The moments where I've misunderstood stuff and messed up. My hope is that these stories might fire up yer engines to remind you of just what a massive twat you also are.

Let's celebrate and revel in this most delightful of traits together. That would be perfectly twatty.

Hilarious. The laughs and life lessons are ten-a-penny

It's charming and funny, a good reminder that nobody's perfect – and why would you want to be anyway?

Entertaining, endearing, tantalising. Fans of the national treasure will devour them

Daily Mirror

Hilarious and highly relatable. The perfect gift for anyone who loves a good laugh

Woman's Own

Warm and sprinkled with celebrity stardust. Urges us to embrace our most embarrassing moments, instead of agonising over our humiliation.

These warts-and-all stories are as funny as you’d expect, as warm and supportive as you’d hope, and liberally sprinkled with celebrity stardust.

An extraordinary book - sad, heartening, gripping and reassuringly human
