Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist Movie Tie-in

by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn

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…

This movie tie-in edition also includes an 8-page photo insert from the film, as well as a map of Manhattan, detailing all of the sites Nick and Norah go to on their all-night date.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is an adventure around New York, where two strangers are thrown together in the strangest of circumstances, and find exactly what the other needs. Nick and Norah are both realistic, they share the same fear, disappointment and anxiety that all of us have experienced at one point in our lives. While Nick is a romantic and lyrical, Norah lacks confidence in who she is and what she has to offer the world. They're both lost, and learning to be independent after recently failed relationships. It's fast paced, loud and wonderfully offensive. I loved the quick wit and intelligence.

But it just seemed unoriginal. The characters weren't as engaging as Dash and Lily, which follows the same humorous, adventure romance format, but there is something said for two authors to collaborate for the story to flow seamlessly.

I can't help but wonder if Cohn, Levithan and John Green all attended the same creative writing course, the quirky character's are all mirror images of one other, Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska follow the same adventure based theme, and all have open endings which allow the reader to create their own happily ever after. Obviously the format works.
