The Culture of Hooking Up

By lalalalawriting

As a twenty-one-year-old sociology major, Laney Emerson, approaches life the same way she approaches her ethnographic research at a local nightclub, detached and observant.

She's researching nightclubs to show the oppressive nature of hookup culture and other gendered dating expectations, but she knows the rules of hooking up. One, never stay past sunrise in a stranger's bed. Two, no strings attached. Laney experiences the alienation of hookup culture just as much as she engages in it.

Until one night, Laney meets Jack Carver at the bar. He wears his heart on his sleeve like a tattoo and is determined to drill his way under Laney's skin. At first, hooking up with Jack quickly becomes a habit, but when Jack finds out about Laney's research, he's only more interested in observing her. Too bad the rules of ethnography are the same as hooking up--don't get attached. How can Laney focus when the objectives of her research get blurred with the objectives in her heart?

The Culture of Hooking Up is a contemporary new adult college romance novel full of thought-provoking questions, swoon-worthy tension, and a whole lot of heart.
