Product Information

She first appeared on television in 2005 as a man tester in two episodes of the British comedy game show 'Balls of Steel.' In 2007, she was featured in the television documentary 'Super Slim Me'. She attempted to become an American size zero in eight weeks. Yet it shaped her. “It’s part of who I am. I can’t imagine a different existence without that terrible thing having happened to me. It makes you a certain kind of person when you begin life with the worst thing that could ever happen. It was devastating but it’s affected me positively – in the way I reach for things, in the way I cope, the way that I love, the way that I’m loyal.” I wanted to write a book about three women who had decided not to have children. That was the book I was going to write, she said in a March 2017 interview with Irish Times. "Then I had a child and . . . it was like motherhood, I couldn't escape it." She called her editor and said: "I have to give one of these characters a child, 'cause I can't not write about being a mum."

This book fit the bill!!!! I like to think of Friday’s as “IT’S FRIDAY FUNNY DAY”....and give tribute to ‘funnies-on-Friday’s’. It's definitely her worst book. Partly because it makes her look quite shallow as though she doesn't have much depth or understanding of the real struggles of 2020. I think that's the problem with this book as it hasn't allowed for any depths to be reached because it touches on so many subjects without them being explored. She then served as a presenter for several television documentaries such as How to Look Good Naked and Seriously Dirty Dancing in 2007, Dawn… and Dawn Porter in 2008, How to Find Love Online in 2013, and This Old Thing in 2014. She also has a few credits as an actress. She appeared in the film Torn (2010) and television series such as Skins in 2012 and Will Sliney's Storytellers in 2021.

Because it's written in a very intimate way, it's very easy to read, and I found I raced through a bit more, and a bit more, until quite late at night. It's very much in blog-style writing, so accessible and day to day. It chops and changes a bit, so sometimes letters, sometimes a sort of mini column/essay, and even the odd recipe. I guess that sort of reflected what life was like, muddling from one thing to another within the same 4 walls day in day out.

Chris also developed and acted in the Sky 1 television series Moone Boy between 2012 and 2015. He played the role of Sean Murphy, which earned him accolades for acting, writing, and directing at the Irish Film and Television Awards. Children & Motherhood

The book just screams ME, ME, ME as I read and I couldn't find a way to connect meaningfully with the self obsessed entries. I related to how grief is a part of Dawn’s life ( her very closest friend committed suicide), my grief is associated with our older daughter.... He's also had a successful cinematic career, with roles in movies like Gulliver's Travels (2010), Bridesmaids (2011), This Is 40 (2012), The Sapphires (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Friends with Kids (2011), Cuban Fury (2014), Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016), and The Cloverfield Paradox (2018). Not that she didn’t cherish the time with the boys, intense though it was. Her book is a paean to what is truly important. “When nothing is happening, so much is actually happening if you care to look. Emotions are bigger than ever.”
