Synopsis

Filled with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next standalone, laugh-out-loud romance audiobook from Helena Hunting, the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up.

Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.

Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him.

They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical.

This sizzling audiobook is the perfect companion to every day at the beach or rainy afternoon.

This is cobbled together creation, rather a literary Frankenstein's monster, a pastiche of various essays with some fiction thrown in, but it's actually a very rewarding read. You don't have to like the man or share his values to appreciate his ability to understand history's machinations, to trace......more

This book is an anthology of long and longer articles (including one novella) by Tom Wolfe. Despite the title, Hooking Up covers a range of subjects from the at-the-time blasphemous "Tiny Mummies," about the New Yorker (no harm-note the New Yorker is still going strong/stronger 50 years later) to th......more

Goodreads review by Tim on April 25, 2008

I never realized how patriotic Wolfe is. His essay about the end of century fizzle is fantastic. Why didn't Americans celebrate the American century... Also enjoyed the novella about Fort Bragg, but the gem in the book is the long investigative/historical essay about Bob Noyce and the rise of Silico......more

Goodreads review by Ani on August 01, 2007

I think the best piece in this book is the first one, a fascinating story detailing the impact of Congregationalism and the state of Iowa on the birth of Silicon Valley and really, modern corporate culture in the US. You can see the seeds of the atrociously long and out-of-touch novel I Am Charlotte......more

The birth of Silicon Valley is particularly entertaining.......more
