Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Rachel Cohn; Knopf, Distributed By Random House

“High school student Nick O’Leary, member of a rock band, meets college-bound Norah Silverberg and asks her to be his girlfriend for five minutes in order to avoid his ex-sweetheart.”
Robin’s Note: You may have heard about this title as it was made into a film, but don’t let that make you think it’s not worth picking up the book.  Written together by two great teen authors, each tackling the voice of one half of our potential romantic couple, it’s funny, sly, sexy, occasionally embarrassing, and above all one energizing trip through one night in New York City.  If you like this one, the authors teamed up again to publish Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List, which is a different sort of journey but has the same appeal.
