kellyholmes 's review for:

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan
4.0

Summary: Nick’s girlfriend just dumped him. So when he sees her walk into the club with another guy, he grabs the closest girl—a complete stranger—and asks her to be his girlfriend for the next 5 minutes.

Review: This is a smart, funny, intense love story. The intensity makes for some steamy encounters, which I didn’t mind, no I did not.

The chapters alternate between Nick and Norah narrating. Levithan and Cohn wrote Nick and Norah’s parts, respectively. I was a little nervous that each chapter would be too different because of that, but they pulled this off perfectly. Nick and Norah are separate people, but they also exist in the same world and speak the same language. Great read!
