Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

So much can happen in one night. This is certainly true for Nick and Norah, the narrators of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. After Nick's band takes the stage as an opener, he runs into the one girl he doesn't want to see at the show - his ex, Tris. To show her he's over her (he's not), he asks the girl standing next to him if she'll pretend she's his girlfriend. She goes along with it - he's cute, she's getting over someone, why not? - but then she realizes his ex is someone she knows too. And as the night goes on, and on, Norah can't decide how much she likes Nick, if he's really over Tris enough to be with her, or if she's over her ex. Nick is similarly confused over what's so quickly transpiring, and what he wants. We also see how Nick and Norah are perceived by each other, when they are not narrating. Rachel Cohn wrote the Norah chapters, while David Levithan wrote Nick's. The two of them drag you into the noisy, sometimes vulgar music scene, where your life can kind of change in a night, if you let down your guard, and allow it. A must read for scenesters and music lovers.
