The Twat Files





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

We're told we've got to be perfect, and we've got filters and selfies and all we ever present is the good part. But in my life, there have been far too many times I have jumped the gun in a spectacular display of tw*ttery. Don't aspire to perfect! Go on your journey knowing you'll never get there!

Dawn French is on a one-woman mission to encourage us all to be more at ease with our proneness to gaffes, our mistakes, our moments of sorrow and regret - to celebrate our shared ups and downs rather than pretending Instagram perfection.
