My Review for The T**t Files: A Life of Mistakes - No Regrets by Dawn French, Read by Dawn French

In one of my Instagram book clubs, we decided that January would be non-fiction month, and Dawn French’s The T**t Files was the overwhelming winner when we all voted. As soon as I discovered this was the choice, I thought what could be better than Dawn reading the book herself, in her own inimitable style. 

I found the book on Audible and settled down, just after Christmas, to begin listening. What a hilarious journey Dawn takes you on throughout the book as she travels through her illustrious career, sharing with the listener, the mistakes she’s made, the misunderstandings she’s encountered and basically, how she has made a champion t**t of herself (her words - not mine)!

I laughed out loud; I shared stories with my husband and I snorted into my tea as I was listening to Dawn’s ramblings. I resonated with so many of her stories, telling her that yes, I too had almost ridden a horse upside down! (Well, it was actually a fat pony - but same difference)!

The T**t Files is a perfect example of how not to take ourselves too seriously. To laugh at all the t**ty things we’ve done and, more importantly, to share them with others! 

I love these words that Dawn shares and agree with each and every line.

💜 Mistakes tell us about ourselves.

💜 Mistakes tell us about others.

💜 Mistakes are hilarious.

💜 Mistakes expose our flaws.

💜 Mistakes show us ourselves honestly.

💜 Mistakes are gloriously human

Thank you to the @bookstabrits Book Club for choosing The T**t Files by Dawn French as January's read.

About the Book

Discover the truth behind the many, many times Dawn French has been a complete twat over the last sixty years.

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. In my life these have been key 

Mistakes tell us about ourselves.

Mistakes tell us about others.

Mistakes are hilarious.

Mistakes expose our flaws.

Mistakes show us ourselves honestly.

Mistakes are gloriously human.

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.
