The Happy Hook-Up: A Single Girl's Guide to Casual Sex

Rating:
Summary: daring, unconventional and brave writers
Review: I compare these 2 writers in terms or their creative, smart and funny writing style, with David Sedaris and other daring, unconventional and brave writers. Reading this book is like a night out with my girls. Amazing! Congratulation. You will be hearing from these two authors from the top of a award podium very soon - Hey! How about a guy's version? Or how about a follow-up, like: What happens after you found Mr. Right...more, more, more!

Summary: Great book. It's about time!
Review: I'm really glad I ordered this book. I know so many women and girls who are hooking up or having casual sex and not feeling so great about it. We want to be able to do it the same way men do, but it never seems to work out that great for us. This book helps you understand why women have regrets or don't enjoy having casual sex as much as they think they might (and no, it's not just because we aren't wired to have sex like men!).

Maybe you're just not able to handle it emotionally, like a lot of people say about females -- but this book talks about that and then brings up a lot of other good points that go deeper than that: Maybe you ARE able to handle it emotionally, but you're picking the wrong guys or you're not being careful enough (using protection) or you're too drunk to know what you're doing, or you're expecting too much after the fact. All of these things make you feel bad about it. This book explains why you shouldn't feel bad about it, and even helps you figure out if you should or shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

I'm sure a lot of people will dismiss this book without even reading it, thinking it's just promoting hooking up and casual sex. But people are already having casual sex (duh!), and this is the first book I've seen that talks about all of the details of it, so you might actually think about it before you do it. Plus, it makes you realize that you're not alone, that it's okay to have sex when you're not in a serious relationship (what are we supposed to do - wait until Mr. Perfect comes along?), and it's funny, too. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Thank goodness
Review: This book talks about what most women today have to deal with in the dating world: Nobody dates anymore! How many times have you met a guy, wondered if he'll ever ask you out, then realized that he's not going to because he only wants one thing (and, as this book rightly points out, he's only good for one thing...and maybe that's all you want from him anyway!)?

I like the way this book talks about all the details of casual sex. I haven't seen any other book that's done that. For instance: Are/were your expectations too high, are you looking out for yourself/protecting yourself, are you dealing with things in the right way after the fact so you don't get burned? I thought it hit the nail on the head in a lot of ways, and if it weren't so long and if it didn't OVER-think things so much, I would have given it 5 stars. Sometimes you DO just have to go for it without thinking so much...just my opinion.

Summary: Chicks Rule! I love them!
Review: Wow! I Just put down this book and boy was it a learning experience! I am so happy that there is a book out there now like this, and that it is done SOOOO well. Guys, if you need to know what's going on in your lady friend's head, then this is the book for you. It will totally help you score. Like I said, I just put the book down, and already one of my coworkers has asked me to hook up with her in the office supply room. This book has humor and knowledge and page numbers, and is a great reference book as well as a fun read. I HIGHLY recommend it. Seriously. GO GET IT. thanks. -eric
