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

Title: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Author: Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
Blurb: 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 girlfriend for the next five minutes?

Norah would do anything to avoid conversation with not 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 answer Nick's question by making out with him?

With one electric, unexpected kiss, the five-minute couple of Nick and Norah set off on 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 Manhattan, they share the kind of night you want to never end, where every minute counts and every moment flickers between love and disaster.

Adapted into a motion picture starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings.
