"Naked in the Rain had a really lovely My Own Private Idaho feel to it. In Wood’s deft hands the book is like a Rorschach test, asking readers to determine whether it’s a modern subversive fairytale or a gritty post-gay drama...charming readers not just with it’s readability but with the built-in soundtrack.”

"I am certainly recommending this book... Eowyn Wood’s Naked in the Rain asks some profound, disturbing and important questions. Questions that our nation, as a whole, tends to ignore, often to the detriment of adults and children who become throwaways or worse. And it asks those questions in an extremely innocent and thereby insightful manner – questions that seep through the lines on the page without any didacticism or pat answers.”

“Eowyn Wood’s first novel is a dark look at two boys, struggling to find themselves, desperate for love and confused as hell about it. These teens are at once troubled and troubling, endearing and distasteful. Ms. Wood surreptitiously weaves a knot in our gut. When we try to pull away, we find we are bound to the novel, much like the boys are bound to their lives.... What’s most remarkable is the author’s ability to push us to explore our feelings about sexual identity and the relationship between sex and love.”

"In Brian [the main character], Wood has created a likeable character with whom it is easy to sympathize. He's sensitive and wise, but he's also a lost little kid. Wood cleverly begins each chapter with song lyrics from bands like The Cure, Placebo and Bauhaus, both paying homage to these bands and creating a mirror for the story's action."

"Eowyn Wood presents Naked in the Rain.... A dark, sometimes sensual, sometimes horrifying introspection into both human sexual depravity, and human ardor."

"Unflinching - and sometimes disturbing - exploration of shattered innocence and young love. Wood is a brave and talented writer."
- Derek Ladd, author of Earth is a Third World Country and Other Stories

“I just finished Naked in the Rain. Thank you for this beautiful story – the entire book has consumed me wholly. I already miss the boys. How is it I fell in love with them? I don’t think I’ll sleep much tonight – my mind is racing. I don’t recall reacting so strongly to a book before.”
- Poison Waters, Entertainer

"Eowyn Wood is an exceptionally talented writer. In her book, Naked in the Rain, she shines as a story teller. The story line follows an eleven year old boy as he falls in love, runs away from an abusive home, connects with the wrong type people, and enters a world of illegal drugs and sex. Wood develops this character so well, I found myself feeling this child's pain, experiencing his emotions, and understanding his situation. I know a disturbing world exists that preys on young children, however, to see it from this child's perspective is incredibly eye-opening. I urge you to read this book. I could not put it down and when finished, I immediately passed it on to a friend to read. I anxiously await the sequel and anything else written by Eowyn Wood."
- Dorothy Bley, DotSon Publishing Group

"Deeply engrossing, taut and focused. Wood has a knack for telling a story."
- Jason Tougaw, PhD, author of Strange Cases: The Medical Case History and the British Novel

“I honestly couldn’t put it down. I actually missed my train stop on two different occasions because I was so engrossed.... The characters were so well crafted, I could completely visualize them as if I were watching a movie.”
