A rare book: a genuinely frank and self-revealing account of an actor's nightmare made real. Comic and even touching

The tale is breathless... works up a gallop

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

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

An amusing insight into the banality of band life, and a cautionary tale about the cost of getting what you always wanted

Teen love, bad haircuts, great music and laugh-out-loud memories

(This week Sam has been) laughing, crying and over-identifying with Louise Wener's hilarious memoir, Different For Girls

Thoroughly entertaining
