A perfume dream of a debut about the wild force of friendship * Politiken * Waist Deep might be this literary year’s first full fledged miracle * Berlingske * Shamelessly entertaining * Kristeligt Dagblad * A completely superb and playful contemporary novel … Its pages ooze life lived, the gallery of characters is razor-sharp, the dialogue is flawless and the spry cultural references tie it all neatly together into a drama worthy of Virginia Woolf * Euroman * Linea Maja Ernst writes about sexual desire so well that it turns her readers on... at once silly and fragile, flirtatious and sensitive * Weekendavisen * An intense, confrontational and in every sense interesting novel about the fragility and (for some) fluidity of identity * Information * Linea Maja Ernst writing about opulent dinner parties and the heady magnetism of midsummer forests is sensory and atmospheric * Soundvenue *
