Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
2 journalers for this copy...
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.

I couldn't get into this. maybe my teen years are finally behind me...
I did really enjoy the film adaptation though, and I read enough of the book to notice substantial changes made to the characters.

Apologies FL. This arrived a couple of weeks ago and with holidays and illness and general slackness I have delayed making a JE.
I started and finished this the day it arrived in the letter box. I loved the music aspect of it but found the characters pretty self indulgent and not very likeable. This book is suffering from Dawson's Creek Syndrome. Ok , it has been a *little* while since I was 18 but I don't remember me or any of my friends acting, thinking or talking like some of these young adult characters in current film, tv and literature. Maybe I'm just getting old!
Anyway thanks for sharing. I did like the book enough to seek out the DVD but to be honest it's more curiousity about how the characters, music and settings are portrayed than a love of the story.
