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
