oh my goodness!

This was absolutely fabulous! soooooooo funny !!!!!! Amazing how all the women tied together. Cant wait to read another of her books!

Easy “read” yet, provocative.

This is the second of O’Porters books I’ve read. I love her themes on womanhood and how the stories weave together to give a slight sense of mystery and keeps you hooked. I can’t say I’m a literary critic, but I really enjoyed this.

Interesting but funny

This one started a little slow for me but then it got funnier as it went on

struggle is real

I thought it touched on the sadness comparison causes. how all us women are so tough on ourselves. it also reminds me that everyone is struggling with something .

A brilliant listen

I loved listening to ever minute of this book. It had me laughing out loud. There was also lots of tender moments too. Dawn writes with such great insights into women’s minds the world of Instagram and #influencers. It is so refreshing. The narration performances really complemented the characters. Love it and can’t wait for the next one. It would make an epic movie too. #blessed #solucky #kiwifan.
Love your work Dawn and your IG.
