Megan Carle Why Megan loves this book

As someone who has never been on a dating app, I was not wholly prepared for the revelations I found within the pages of Treena Orchard's riveting book. Not only does the author deliver on the promise of introducing us to the addictive nature of the dating app swipe culture within the context of feminism, she does so in an engaging, smart, and relatable way. The read is indeed Sticky and Sexy. Sad only when I came to the end of this addictive book!

What is this book about?

Lifelong luddite Treena Orchard was a newly sober woman coming off a much-needed break from relationships, reluctantly taking the digital plunge by downloading a dating app. Instead of the fun, easy experiences advertised on swiping platforms, she discovered endless upkeep, ghosting, fleeting moments of sexual connection, and a steady flow of misogyny.

Career Forward is a book I wish had been available 40-plus years ago when I was graduating high school and forging my way through college. Because of this, Career Forward became my most gifted graduation present to high school and college graduates of 2024. Although the book is written by women and highlights "Strategies from Women who've Made It," I didn't leave graduating men out. They received the book too! Both authors know their stuff and generously share their experiences in an accessible, engaging way. I loved the exercises at the end of each chapter.
