Just For One Day

This book is absolutely wonderful - I just read four passages out loud to the Word staff - to actual applause! – Mark Ellen * The Word *
Wise, funny and loving - a brilliant memoir about Britpop and possibly the best rock biography since Nik Cohn’s AwopBopAlooBop-AlopBamBoom * Tony Parsons *
Funny, readable and filled with proper gossip. Most importantly, it’s a perceptive and tenacious look at what it was really like to be a girl among the blokes in that era – Alexandra Heminsley * The New Review, Independent on Sunday *
Wener charts the story of her rise from suburban schoolgirl to 1990s pin-up with Indie group Sleeper. Her tone is warm, funny and self-deprecating - and she’s not afraid to prick a few egos along the way * Daily Mirror *
An amusing insight into the banality of band life, and a cautionary tale about the cost of getting what you always wanted * The Quietus *
Teen love, bad haircuts, great music and laugh-out-loud memories * Fearne Cotton *
(This week Sam has been) laughing, crying and over-identifying with Louise Wener’s hilarious memoir, Different For Girls * Sam Baker - Editor of Red Magazine *
Thoroughly entertaining * Record Collector *

Louise Wener was the lead singer of the band Sleeper and one of Britpop’s biggest female stars. She travelled the world at the height of their fame playing to hundreds of thousands. In the early 90s Sleeper had three top ten albums, including the platinum-selling The It Girl before disbanding in 1998. Louise has since written four acclaimed novels and lives in Brighton with her husband and two children.
