Product Description
Trawling through her answer messages on a Friday night, Juno sets off on a weekend of pubs, parties and raves, smoking joints and snorting lines, out on the town with Shell, Lou and Melissa, all doing it harder, faster and louder than anyone else.

Firstly I cannot express how bad this book really is ...It is the most atrocious read that I have ever had the misfortune to buy ..It is not in the least bit fast paced as the summary suggests. It is tedious and trashy without even being good trash .Its badly written and quite honestly the most boring read I have ever come across.The heroine of the story irritated me beyond belief with the constant student "up talking" and continual drug references .Was the author trying to make a point here or something ? I can only believe that after reading the introduction about the author this must be her very poor attempt at art trying to imitate life .Needless to say I wouldnt recommend this book to anyone ..Unless of coure you cant sleep or you ran out of paper to wipe your backside with ...

How does this stuff ever get published? A badly written account of a wholly unremarkable series of events lacking plot, theme and characterisation. Please tell me she hasn't written another one......

So. A hedonistic weekend seen through the eyes of Juno, your archetypal 1995 Camden girl: she moonlights for a rcord company, she goes to gigs, clubs and parties, and gets involved in the kind of dramas only your mates or EastEnders can inflict on you. Beach reading for Ibiza, you might say - but hold on. In amongst the exaggeration of Britpop-era living and copious narcotic dependance, Jane Owen manages to pretty much nail the atmosphere and diversity of a girls' night out, the daft stuff we talk about, thinking its oh so relevant at the time, and the way we degrade men absolutely whilst still being sufficiently obsessed by them to talk about them incessantly. This is all related in a stream of consciousness, unrelenting tumult which suits the coke-addled content completely - who thinks in nicely punctuated sentences at 1am on a Saturday morning afterall? There are enough issues throughout the weekend to make you think for a full week, and its really like a docusoap look into a relatively average girl's weekend: some bits are a bit overegged obviously, but if it was on telly you'd probably watch it. Makes for a not bad read, then, if you're looking for something a bit different from your implausible Jackie Collins tosh.
