genius!

What the heck is "hooking up" anyway? You'll find all the answers, rules and guidelines in this book. Simply put, it is a genius account of today's dating scene, written by two sassy females who have finally defined that undefinable event that occurs when you mix alcohol and hormones. I can honestly say that after reading this book, I finally have an understanding of what NOT to expect from a hookup, and now when I do that "walk of shame," I feel just a little less shameful, knowing somewhere someone else is doing it, too.

This book has changed my life. I spent the first half of my twenties talking with my friends about how differently things are now in the dating scene. The Hookup Handbook is the answer to our questions. It's explanatory, insightful, and completely eliminates my fear that my friends and I were the only ones trying to figure this stuff out. I love the quizes and the writing is incredible. I highly recommend it.

Entertaining, honest and witty.

What a fun read!!!! This is a hilarious and truthful account of the challenges that singles today confront when hitting the bar, the booze or the bedroom. Enjoyable and relatable to everyone no matter who you are or where you are from. In this era of unprecedented sexual politics these two savvy singles have captured the realities of sex culture today. I have already bought copies for my sister, who has lived most of the accounts detailed in the book and my mom, who I hope through this read will finally grasp the dating and sex culture of our generation. A must read...
