Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Indie Next List Highlights 2008“An absolutely fantastic book that will have you laughing and blushing at the same time! As she did with Spook and Stiff, Mary Roach again uses her wonderful storytelling talents to combine her knowledge of science (this time examining current and historical studies of sex) with the curious and absurd.”
-- Lori Kauffman, Brookline Booksmith, Brookline, MA
