Publisher Description
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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Imagine if Irvine Welsh’s scabrous story of working-class addiction Trainspotting had been written by Sally Rooney, and you're in the ballpark of this surprisingly tender novel. Twentysomething London nanny Joni and her pals live to party, and first-time author Nell Hudson captures both the joyous allure of getting blitzed with your friends and the inevitable crashes that make Joni start to reconsider her lifestyle. Hudson—who’s also an actress—narrates her novel, and she really draws us into the complicated emotions of the relationship between Joni and her childhood BFF, Dyl. Just for Today nails a particular period of almost-adulthood.
