The New York Times bestselling he-said/she-said rock n’ roll romance that inspired the motion picture starring Michael Cera (Juno, Arrested Development) and Kat Dennings (Thor, TV’s 2 Broke Girls)! "I know this is going to sound strange, but would you mind being my girlfriend for the next five minutes?" Nick frequents New York's indie rock scene nursing a broken heart. Norah is questioning all of her assumptions about the world. They have nothing in common except for their taste in music, until a chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band's secret show and ends up becoming a first date that could change both their lives. Co-written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, co-author of WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON with John Green (THE FAULT IN OUR STARS), NICK & NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST is a sexy, funny roller coaster of a story that reminds you how you can never be sure where the night will take you…

"Super quick read, perfect for reading slumps!"

"Brilliant! Love the back and forth of the chapters, and I even love the cliff-hanger-ish ending. Very cute, and just a little bit steamy. Honestly, though, the giant paragraphs were almost the death of me! Walls of text can be a bit hard to read, but pushing though it was definitely worth it!"

Sage Buchanan

"I want a romance like nick and Norah! To know you’re in love without even knowing each other properly is probably the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard. I’m a hopeless romantic who hasn’t really had a lot of romance so maybe I’m a little bit like Norah, (frigid?) but The way they interact is just the greatest and to fall in love after one night of kid like fun is just the greatest feeling I hope I ever feel!"

"Surprisingly I like the movie more. Still worth a read but I think the movie is just more exciting"

"I was kind of disappointed. I saw the movie and thought it was instresting so the the fact that the book didn't live up sucks. I spent forever trying to finish cause some of the chapters fell flat. There wasn't really anything great. Norah was super moody and I disliked her, and Nick was forgettable."

"I thought this was such a good book! It kept me engaged and entertained through it’s entirety. Sometimes it was a bit hard to read/follow. But mostly, it was adorable and funny and definitely a must read for anyone into music. Kinda wish I had a young love list this one, but I’ll settle for the awesome playlist at the beginning of the book."

Alexus Sims-Barnes

"Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist was a short but fun read. The book highlights the first night Nick meets Norah after his ex-girlfriend Tris dumped him. Nick asks Norah to be his girlfriend for 5 minutes in front of his ex but what he gets is one wild night. Nick and Norah travel all over New York City, discovering the city and everything they can about each other in a whirlwind adventure. Along the way, the audience learns about many different bands and types of music while their relationship begins to intensify in the short amount of time they have known each other. This book makes many references to bands, songs, movies and TV shows that are well known and loved by many. Norah and Nick are humorous, sweet, zany, and all together fun and entertain. Highly recommended. Recommended for ages 16+ for frequent swearing and reference to implicit sexual activities."

"I haven’t been reading as much as I used to when I was younger, and I’m trying to get back into it. My favorite of everything I’ve read so far is The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
