Description
'Engrossing...a powerful book with characters that will stay with you' **** Heat
'What a yearning, tenderly bruising beauty of a book. Generous, gorgeous and funny' Rhik Samadder
'Unputdownable. Totally wonderful' Daisy Goodwin
The party has to end sometime
It all starts on New Year's Eve. A night that has to be a success, whatever the cost. For Joni and her friends, it'll be a party that promises all the high stakes and glamour of any other, but by sunrise they'll be dealing with something darker than the usual post-party comedown.
Not that they let this stand in their way. For this is their year to revel in all that the playground of London has to offer: sneaking into places they shouldn't, breaking every rule, falling in love with the wrong people. All the while avoiding one undeniable truth: it's not if the party ends, it's how.
JUST FOR TODAY is a bittersweet evocation of the end of innocence, and an exhilarating celebration of having nothing to lose - until suddenly, you do.

'What a yearning, tenderly bruising beauty of a book. Generous, gorgeous and funny, it's a brilliant portrayal of friendship in the roaring noughties. When I finished, I was so bereft and impressed that I turned straight back to the beginning and started again' -- Rhik Samadder 'Unputdownable. Totally wonderful' * Daisy Goodwin * 'Engrossing . . . a powerful book with characters that will stay with you' * Heat * 'An absolute page-turner of a coming-of-age story, a debut that pulls you in and doesn't let you go until the final page' * LoveReading * I was immediately pulled in with that wonderful feeling of "Ah, this is going to sail me along and provide huge delight." I longed to get back to it over the few days I read it and remained utterly gripped throughout -- Sofka Zinovieff, author of PutneyMore details
