• Title The Twat Files
• Author Dawn French
• Year 2023
• Genre Memoir

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 because: 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.

Thoughts

Lovely Dawn French is back with another memoir of sorts - this time leaning heavily in to embarrassing incidents and moments she feels somewhat ashamed of. It’s all about times when she’s been a twat, either being funny, embarrassing, or very occasionally, a bit mean. I listened to the audiobook, read by the author, so it was a wonderful listen, and is one of those books that makes you feel less alone in this awful universe.
