Learned a lot :) glad people are writing about normal body functions, helps dispel some negative cultural views around it

Way more interesting than I anticipated it to be. I loved the stories throughout. Well researched and well written.

I definitely learned more about sweat (and in particular, smell) and I thought the book was very interesting and entertaining. I liked that Everts framed each topic with a different experience and expert interview, but sometimes it felt a little too much like a story with not enough science for me. However, it is an easy read and made me think more positively about my own sweatiness, so I liked it!

A very light and fun treatment of the subject that is easy to read, but nothing too innovative. The author puts herself into the book too much, ala Mary Roach, for my liking.
