"Hooking Up is a welcome, empirical addition that informs all readers of the collegiate state of affairs--sexual and otherwise. It will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of gender, sexuality, family, relationships, and higher education."
-Rachel Kalish, Gender & Society”Hooking Up uses interviews with both women and men to understand why dating has declined in favor of a new script for sexual relationships on college campuses. . . . Bogle presents a balanced analysis that explores the full range of hooking-up experiences."
-Joel Best, author of Flavor of the Month: Why Smart People Fall for Fads"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."
-Choice"In her ambitious sociological study, Kathleen Bogle, an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University, offers valuable insight on the hook-up craze sweeping college campuses and examines the demise of traditional dating, how campus life promotes casual sex, its impact on post-college relationships, and more. Don't let your college freshman leave home without it."
-Main Line Today"Bogle's prose engages the reader, and her positive rapport with her interviewees provides confidences typically reserved for best friends. A useful resource for college students who want to know what hooking up means to their classmates, Bogle's book is also relevant for parents trying to figure out why their darn kids are running around the bases backward."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer"Examines the complex term "hook up" and the social movement it signifies."
-Post-gazette.com
"A page turner! This book should be required reading for college students and their parents! Bogle doesn't condemn hooking up, but she does explain it. This knowledge could help a lot of young people make better choices and get insight into their own behavior whether or not they choose to hook up."
-Pepper Schwartz, author of Everything You Know about Sex and Love Is Wrong"Bogle is a smart interviewer and gets her subjects to reveal intimate and often embarrassing details without being moralizing. This evenhanded, sympathetic book on a topic that has received far too much sensational and shoddy coverage is an important addition to the contemporary literature on youth and sexuality."
