<p> A major strength of the book is the use of interviews of college students and alumni. The qualitative approach allows readers to get a glimpse of the experiences and observations of the respondents in their own words. Bogle debunks the media's notion of hooking up and offers a definition of what hooking up means to respondents. A must read for undergraduate students, faculty and staff, and parents. Summing up: Highly recommended.

This work is an excellent reflection on the continuing double standards for men and women and the consideration of gender norms in our 'post-feminist' culture will be appreciated by gender studies scholars as well as by researchers and practitioners interested in late adolescent and emerging adult sexuality. Hooking Up also serves as a valuable reference for those who seek to understand (and decode) the sexual terminology and encounters of youth and young adults. <br> - Journal of Youth and Adolescence
