Nick and Norah both live in a world where music is their salvation. Nick is the bassist in a band called The Fuck Offs. Norah is a smart girl who takes care of her friend Caroline who is never sober. Nick is getting over his ex, Tris, who cheated on him. And Norah is getting over her ex, Tal, who basically controlled her life.
One night at a popular club, Nick sees Tris with another guy and wants to make her jealous. Standing next to him is Norah who knows who Nick is, but Nick doesn't know her. "Will you be my girlfriend for five minutes?" Nick asks, and the night goes from there. 5 minutes turn into 7 minutes, which turn into 1 hour, which turns into the rest of the night. They like each other. Even though they started out using one another, a friendship starts to form and turns into something more. The rest of the book takes place over the one night that they meet. Nick and Norah use music to figure out how to get over the past, welcome the future, find themselves, and find each other.
Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist is told in 3rd person. Every other chapter alternates from Nick to Norah. The book would be enjoyable for girls or boys 13 or older. There's the F word in practically every other sentence... either used as an adjective or noun. Haha. And some of the chapters... actually most of the chapters have adult content. Aside from the overused F word, I liked this book. Some parts were extremely hilarious. And I totally got a kick out of one of the bands called Where's Fluffy. Anyway, read this book if you have a love for music or enjoy cute love stories.

Nice review, Maria. I had hoped to read this before you since I knew it had adult content in it. I'll read it this week and will probably still want to discuss stuff with you. K?
Thanks :)
But remember you said I could read it?
I know, but I didn't expect you to read it so fast! LOL I figured you start it and then I'd read the whole thing before you finished. I know better for next time.
Fantastic! Your review left me tingling :)
Lmao... thanks Nicole :]
Great review! Do you think you'll want to see the movie and make a comparsion review?
Yeah! I was actually thinking about doing that. The book and movie seem so different.
I agree! The movie looks like straight up comedy whereas the book sounds more in-depth and complex. :D
Would love to read you reviews if you do! :)
Nice review :)
Do you know how to make one of these things? I've been trying for an hour and i wanna smash my computer in :/
Danielle--do you want to start your own blogspot? It looks like you already created a google account using an email address. If you go to blogger.com and sign in, you should just be able to follow the instructions after selecting CREATE A BLOG. You'll need to come up with a url name that hasn't been taken already. For example, this blogger came up with bookalicious101-- you'd need to come up with your own url. Then just follow the prompts in blogger to set up your own page. Good luck!
