This book is about an accidental couple who end up going on a journey into the infinite night of falling in and out of love. This first date was filled with music, laughter, confessions, heartache, confusion, passion, taxi driver wisdom and a jacket named Salvatore. And of course, there is the killer soundtrack of the night.
Nick watched his girlfriend who has dumped him walk in with another guy, and his basic instinct was to talk to that strange girl standing next to him to be his girlfriend for five minutes to avoid any awkwardness in his conversations with his ex-girlfriend.
Norah, on the other hand, would do anything to avoid any sort of conversation with her not-so-close-friend who has just dumped Nick, and to get over her ex-boyfriend that she couldn't really let go off. Norah decides to answer Nick's question by agreeing to be his girlfriend for that very five minutes.
Yet, with that one kiss that sent them swooned, they end up going on their very own journey of bewilderment and new love. Their night goes on as Nick and Norah wander around the mystical maze of Manhattan, their night was so perfect and so flawless; when every minute was so precious and so real.
"The wattage goes way up as two of the bright lights of contemporary writing for teens come together for an incandescent he said/she said night of storytelling. There's perfectly captured teen music-geek talk and delicious stuff about kissing and what lies beyond." - Kirkus Reviews, Starred.
I would have to say that this book is definitely one of my favorite books. It tells such a unique and very sweet love story, it is genuinely poignant; and it is a story of thrills and risks of intimacy. There were definitely many heart-stopping moments in this novel, I loved the writers' description of the characters and I would say that this is definitely a good read. This book has also been made into a successful major motion picture and I'm really compelled to watch the movie soon!
