Just For Today by Nell Hudson

'A yearning, tenderly bruising beauty of a book and a brilliant portrayal of friendship in the roaring noughties' Rhik Samadder

It was a time of drinking too much and staying out all night.

Of boozy al fresco dinners, sneaking into private clubs and midnight strolls on Hampstead Heath.

It was a time of friendship, of falling in love and being young.

A time when you felt that anything could happen.

But the party can't last forever, and for Joni and her friends, sunrise promises something darker than any of them could have imagined, as they face the one undeniable truth: it's not if the party ends; it's how.

'A huge delight. I remained utterly gripped throughout' Sofka Zinovieff, author of Putney

'Engrossing . . . a powerful book with characters that will stay with you' Heat

'I loved Just for Today, a novel written by a young person about young people getting into the sort of muddles with love and friendship that tend to beset you in your twenties' Nicola Shulman, Spectator Books of the Year

Nell Hudson grew up on a farm in Worcestershire. She graduated from the Oxford School of Drama in 2012 and has been working as a professional actor ever since. Just For Today is her first novel.
