    About Unhooked

    Features a new Afterword for this edition. A controversial look at today’s sexual hook-up culture, and “[a] book…you won’t stop talking about.”-Patricia Cornwell

    From the front lines of today’s sexual battlefield comes an eye-opening examination of the hookup culture, seen through the personal experiences of the teenage girls and young women who live it-and who are left unprepared for its consequences. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author presents a disturbing and enlightening indictment of the hookup culture, the social forces that contribute to it, and what can be done to change it.
