This was a fantastic (and quick) read that I did awhile back, before the movie hit the theatres. This is the story of Nick (a young boy stuck on his ex) and Norah (a girl who spends her life shepherding her drunken best friend from various NYC hot spots). Norah borrows Nick for a kiss and when he realizes Norah is connected to his ex, they join together for a madcap dash around NYC to find their favorite band. Full of fun band references, it is told from both Nick and Norah’s perspectives. A great read for young adults as well as adults.
