"Enchanting…Awash with insight into the human condition, Brue displays a knack for getting people, herself included, to 'come clean' in unexpected and entertaining ways." -Booklist
"[Brue] has bred a new publishing hybrid, the beauty-travel memoir, Bruce Chatwin by way of Allure magazine." -New York Times Sunday Styles
"[An] entertaining picaresque…[Brue's] devotion to the pleasures of bathing with strangers makes a seductive case for 'skinship,' in which, naked together in the same water, 'you do away with all the normal social barriers in life.'" -New Yorker
