Edgy, fast-paced, frank YA written by 2 authors.
Loved the concept and the individual voices.
As I love both [a:David Levithan 11664 David Levithan https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1426529210p2/11664.jpg] and [a:Rachel Cohn 13139 Rachel Cohn https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1224298697p2/13139.jpg], this book was almost an automatic winner for me.The book goes back and forth between the viewpoints of Nick and Norah on their relationship, love, The Ex's, music, sex, and religion. A fun, cute story with some adult situations thrown in makes this a great book for older teens and young adults. I sat down and read it cover to cover - I couldn't put it down!
It had some interesting thing to say beyond all the pretentious rambling. It felt authentic, and it was admittedly sweet.
YA romance is not a genre I like very much, I'm not sure why I keep reading them. For every one like this, pretentious and arty teenagers fall in love and act like every little moment they spend with the other person is some sort of perfect gift, there are some truly smart and memorable ones.
It wasn't bad. I'm glad it was short.
