Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Karuna

This had promise but I feel there were topics that were meaty but left unresolved ( Uncle Lachlan) and the ending was a bit abrupt like the author suddenly reached the wordcount and had to end. The debauchery while authentic, felt contrived at times. A very good beach read but I wouldnt read again......more

2.5, sobbed like a child for personal reasons, not reflective of plot of which there is very little & i felt little to no connection to the character......more

Goodreads review by Kelly

Just For Today is the really rather stunning debut from Nell Hudson. Whilst this is a story of lives lived to excess, for all its glamour it is also quietly devastating. I was drawn immediately into Joni’s world and found it very hard to put this book down. Just For Today begins on New Years Eve, a n......more

Quotes

'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'

'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
