*Dawn O'Porter's brand new novel, CAT LADY, is available to
pre-order now! * *THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* Fearlessly frank and
funny, the debut adult novel from Dawn O'Porter is the book that
everybody needs to read right now. COW [n.] /ka / A piece of meat;
born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd. Three women.
A whole world of judgement. Tara, Cam and Stella are very different
women. Yet in a society that sets the agenda, there's something
about being a woman that ties invisible bonds between us. When one
extraordinary event rockets Tara to online infamy, their three
worlds collide in ways they could never imagine - and they discover
that one woman's catastrophe might just be another's inspiration.
Through friendship and conflict, difference and likeness, they'll
learn to find their own voices. Because sometimes it's OK not to
follow the herd.

_______________________________________________________________ CAT
LADY [n.] Single, independent, crazy, aloof, on-the-shelf, lives
alone . . . It's safer for Mia to play the part that people expect.
She's a good wife to her husband Tristan, a doting stepmother, she
slips on her suit for work each morning like a new skin. But
beneath the surface, there's another woman just clawing to get out
. . . When a shocking event shatters the conventional life she's
been so careful to build, Mia is faced with a choice. Does she live
for a society that's all too quick to judge, or does she live for
herself? And if that's as an independent woman with a cat, then the
world better get ready . . . Fresh, funny and for anyone who's ever
felt astray, CAT LADY will help you belong - because a woman always
lands on her feet. PRAISE FOR CAT LADY: 'My book of the year'

'Heartbreaking, hilarious, comforting' Marie Claire 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

The follow-up to the number one bestseller PAPER AEROPLANES It's a
year and a half on from PAPER AEROPLANES, and Renee is now living
idyllically with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renee
likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the
One' - someone who will love her no matter what, and be there for
her no matter how bad things get. She and Flo are in their final
year at school, and they've got some tough choices to make - like
will they go to university? And if so where - and will they go
together? Renee's usual ambivalence on the matter shocks Flo, who
had assumed they'd continue as they were, the best and closest of
friends, forever. She feels as though she needs Renee's support
more than ever, so when a handsome young boy enters Flo's life, she
finds herself powerfully drawn to his kindness, and his faith.
Renee and Flo's friendship will soon be tested in a way neither of
them could have expected - and if PAPER AEROPLANES was a book about
finding friendship, GOOSE is the novel that explores whether it's
possible to keep hold of it.

'Heartbreaking, hilarious, comforting' Marie Claire Dear 2020 - can
we just start over? Love Dawn x LIFE IN PIECES is a book for anyone
who's been thrown into a life they didn't plan, or who just wants
to stick it to 2020. When it looks like everything's falling apart,
we'll piece it back together. From reflections on grief and
identity, bad hair and parenting, sleep and spirituality, to the
things we can control and the things we cannot, Dawn has been doing
a lot of thinking about life in lockdown. Mostly from a cupboard.
Discover the daily diaries that track the journey - for a
hilarious, heartbreaking and highly entertaining glimpse into the
new normal. '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: holding out for 5pm to crack open
the tequila' Mark Watson
I just can't imagine me without you... It's the mid-1990s, and
fifteen year-old Guernsey schoolgirls, Renee and Flo, are not
really meant to be friends. Thoughtful, introspective and studious
Flo couldn't be more different to ambitious, extroverted and
sexually curious Renee. But Renee and Flo are united by loneliness
and their dysfunctional families, and an intense bond is formed.
Although there are obstacles to their friendship (namely Flo's
jealous ex-best friend and Renee's growing infatuation with Flo's
brother), fifteen is an age where anything can happen, where life
stretches out before you, and when every betrayal feels like the
end of the world. For Renee and Flo it is the time of their lives.
With graphic content and some scenes of a sexual nature, PAPER
AEROPLANES is a gritty, poignant, often laugh-out-loud funny and
powerful novel. It is an unforgettable snapshot of small-town
adolescence and the heart-stopping power of female friendship.
