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
