The Alphabetical Hookup List K-Q

The Alphabetical Hookup List #2

by Phoebe McPhee

How 3 girls tried to hook up with 78 guys in 1 semester:

the second installment.

So. Maybe freshman year isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Jodi won't be joining a sorority any time soon.

Celeste isn't so innocent anymore.

Ali is on the verge of flunking out of PU.

But who cares? Our heroines are hooking up with all sorts of Andys and Busters and "Captains" -- slowly but surely making their way toward that elusive Z. And when they decide to take the Alphabetical Hookup List on the road -- to Paris, no less -- it looks as though they can finally forget about their troubles. (For one long weekend, anyway.)

Unfortunately -- thanks to a series of mishaps including scandalous behavior in the library stacks, a guitar-shaped tattoo, and a missing $6,000 -- their troubles just got a lot worse.

And the ABCs just got a lot more complicated.

[Librariann · Rating 3 out of 5]

This trilogy by MTV books reads like a storyline on Undressed neatly placed between 2 covers, with all the requisite current pop culture references. Jodi, Ali, and Celeste are three different-as-they-come roommates, randomly matched to live together for their freshman year. Each neatly fits a stereotype: goth-punk girl Ali, Sorority wannabe Daddy's girl Jodi, and pure and innocent Celeste. When guy problems surface in each of their lives, with the help of some liquor they go from tentative roommates to the best of friends and dream up a contest - whoever kisses 26 guys with names/nicknames from A-Z wins a night on the town. This silly premise drives us through 3 books.

How can Jodi hold true to the AHUL when the only guy she likes is named Zack? Will Celeste abandon her good girl ways - and what really happened the night she spent with Jodi's ex Buster? Will Ali flunk out of school because of her penchant for G.H. and uncertain money management skills? And who is blackmailing the girls with their knowledge of the AHUL?

Smutty trash and yet I read all 3 within 24 hours. Brainless at best, but addictive nonetheless.

A strange little MTV trilogy about a group of friends who dare one another to hook-up with one boy for each letter of the alphabet. Their names must start with the correct letter, in alphabetical order, and there must be at least a kiss. I can't believe I read the whole trilogy, but it was cute enough for what it's worth, I guess.
