In her second book, journalist Stepp gets an inside perspective on the "hookup," which has become the "primary currency of social interaction" between the sexes in high schools and colleges. Stepp has a seasoned pro's ability to step back, examining carefully and sympathetically the "cultural shift" in the particulars of the hookup, through the individual stories of interviewees, as well as in its broader cultural impact.

“In this book, Stepp has lifted the veil of secrecy around young people and sex, and revealed the good, the bad, and the downright ugly,” said Sarah Brown, Director of the National Campaign. |
