Smart Swipe

Smart Swipe explores a subject rarely spoken of unless it is done so in hushed tones: sex.



Author Valerie McPherson wants to normalize conversations about sex, so she decided to focus on hookup culture on college campuses, which is where many begin to explore their sexuality for the first time as part of the self-discovery process.



Smart Swipe begins by answering some basic questions such as:

What is hooking up? What does it mean to be sex-positive? Do you have to be in college to experience hookup culture? It then progresses into a discussion about everything pertaining to the topic of sex. McPherson explains how dating apps contribute to college hookup culture and shares her personal experiences, as well as the stories of people she has interviewed. Smart Swipe presents hooking up as what it is: young people figuring out what they want in a partner, learning to love their bodies, and standing up for what they feel is right in all situations.



With juicy tell-all stories and powerful statements that open your mind and teach you acceptance, you will not want to put this book down until you are an educated participant or tolerant expert in college hookup culture.
