"I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. but now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist."

SYNOPSIS
Nick's just seen the girl who dumped him walk in... with a new guy. What else can he do but ask the strange girl next to him to be his new girlfriend for the next five minutes?
Norah would do anything to avoid conversation with the no not-friend girl who dumped Nick... and to get over the Evil Ex whom Norah never really totally dumped. what else can she do but anser Nick's question by making out with him?
With one electric, unexpected kiss, the five-minute couple of Nick and Norah set off an uncharted adventure called the "first date" that will turn into an infinite night of falling in and out (and in and out, and maybe in and maybe out) of love. Theirs is a first date of music, laughter, heartache, confusion passion, taxi driver wisdom, and a jacket named Salvatore. And of course a killer soundtrack.
As Nick and Norah wander through the middle-of-the-night mystic maze of Manhttan, they share the kind of night you want to never end, where every minute counts and every moment flickers between love and disaster.
MY REVIEW
There's Nick, and there's Norah and there's Tris and there's Tal. And there is ONE epic night of figuring it all out. This book is the most real book I've read about teenagers, ever. They cuss, they are confused as hell, they are trying to figure it all out in one night. Nick has just been dumped and Norah is getting over the guy who basically sucked at being her boyfriend.
Then they meet, and it's electric. They connect on so many levels, through music and sarcasm. They really go through hit those peaks and valley's throughout this one epic night that seems to be never ending, and that's not a bad thing.
I can remember nights like that so clearly when I was young. To just be carefree and fall in and out of love in one single night. It's the best feeling in the world to not know what the you want and changing your mind a million times in one hour.
I really enjoyed this book. It was down to earth, realistic, funny as hell. Such a great read. I smiled so much while reading this short and sweet book.
