Chloe does Yale by Nathalie Krinsky

Welcome to the forgotten shelf. This is day 4!
Watch the video for today, here or here.

The book in short
Go back to college with Natalie Krinsky in this frothy, first novel from the sex columnist for the Yale Daily News , now in paperback Chloe Carrington is a typical Yale student, except that along with toiling through the usual grind of coursework, she pens a notorious and much dished-over sex column for the campus newspaper. This touch of scandal has wrought havoc on her social and love life, turning it into an open book. Chloe doesnt help matters much; she likes to share, and cant resist divulging the gory details of her most recent date (or lack thereof) in her column, baring her soul, and sometimes the souls of others, for all to see. And that’s where the trouble begins. As Chloe probes the campus hot spots, we get a peek at what goes on behind the Ivy League’s dormitory doors — from drinking at Toad’s, to Exotic Erotic, Yale’s answer to a Playboy mansion bash, complete with coeds in skimpy bikinis and a lacrosse team clad only in socks. Of course there’s perhaps the most favorite extracurricular activity — lots and lots of sex. Teeming with exuberance and late-night shenanigans, Chloe Does Yale is filled with humor and candor about typical college situations, both inside and outside the dorm rooms.

My Thoughts
As I said in the video, I really wanted to like it; I was so keen on reading this book. But it was not as nice as I thought it would be.

I thought it would be funny, and it wasn’t that funny. It also wasn’t vulgar, which I did appreciate.  It was all right, but it was not the best book. It was a bit of a let-down, but I do know I wouldn’t have enjoyed it at all when I was younger, so in that sense I would say it was a positive.

That was the forgotten shelf for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.
