Reviews

"There are a million stories in Key West and June Keith seems to know them all." —Dave Barry

"Keith knows first-hand that Key West has the kind of sweaty, raunchy appeal you either surrender to—gloriously—or you walk away from, shaking your head in disgust. Either way, the town stays under your skin." —St. Petersburg Times
