Product Description
It all starts when Nick asks Norah to be his girlfriend for five minutes. He only needs five minutes to avoid his ex-girlfriend, who’s just walked in to his band’s show. With a new guy. And then, with one kiss, Nick and Norah are off on an adventure set against the backdrop of New York City—and smack in the middle of all the joy, anxiety, confusion, and excitement of a first date.
This he said/she said romance told by YA stars Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is a sexy, funny roller coaster of a story about one date over one very long night, with two teenagers, both recovering from broken hearts, who are just trying to figure out who they want to be—and where the next great band is playing.
Told in alternating chapters, teeming with music references, humor, angst, and endearing side characters, this is a love story you’ll wish were your very own. Working together for the first time, Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have combined forces to create a book that is sure to grab readers of all ages and never let them go.

• Fun 01 July, 2008
Just finished this book. Its 2AM and I think its a perfect time to writ about this book. Short, sweet, it captures the vibrancy of the Lower East Side to perfection. Nick and Norah (I hope they got their names from the Thin Man characters?) are two sort of off-beat unsure teenagers, who find all they need in one another. The music rocks. Really fun to read.

• A Sexy Rock Story 10 June, 2008
Nick loses it when he sees his ex-girlfriend at the punk club, so he asks the girl next to him to pretend to be his girlfriend. Norah wouldn't agree under normal circumstances, but she happens to know the girl who dumped Nick, a girl she doesn't particularly like, so she kisses him in response. What starts as a five-minute relationship turns into the beginning of a strong bond between the two. That night, they explore New York City, the meaning of the connections between people, and fall in love.
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is a beautiful love story blossoming from a shared love of punk music. Both Nick and Norah were interesting and sensitive characters, each with their own relationship problems, each afraid to enter into a new relationship. I thought it was sweet how they fit so well for each other. Each time one left the other, I felt almost anger, because throughout the entire story, I there was a sense that Nick and Norah were meant to be together, and that they couldn't be apart. This is the type of bond I was looking for in Reincarnation by Suzanne Weyn, so I was a little surprised to find it in this novel. But this link made the story so romantic and sweet.
I also really liked the alternate narrations between Nick and Norah, because I got to see their feelings. It was amusing how, for example, Nick thought something and Norah thought the exact opposite of the same situation, but somehow everything turned out fine. I didn't feel that I completely got to know them, because the story took place over the course of only one night and only certain aspects of their characters were explored, but I did like what was shown of them.
I most definitely recommend this novel, but be aware of the excess of profanity used in the writing (I counted exactly 250 appearances of the f-word) and a continuous yearning for sex. However, since the story was so sweet and optimistic, I look forward to reading the next book coauthored by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List.

• Honest And Funny Young Adult Read. 26 March, 2008
Snappy dialogue and memorable characters who are easy to relate to and not nauseatingly likeable. The authors haven't tried to create a classic here, but the easy-to-devour novel's narration is true to the psychology of young adults.

• Beautiful! 25 April, 2008
When I saw a book was written by two of my favorite authors together, I couldn't resist. The book had a unique plot with many unexpected turns. The end left me wanting a sequel to see where Nick & Norah's other adventures might take them. After I read it, about 5 of my friends did too and tehy all loved it.
