NICK & NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST (Rachel Cohn & David Levithan) - August 4/08

This may perhaps be the most authentically romantic book I've ever read, as it follows two characters as they meet and bond and fall in love over one very long night. A cross between Before Sunrise and Say Anything (especially the latter), the book does take a while to get going but reaches a point at which you just don't want to put it down. The ending is note perfect and they better not change it for the movie ("Ready. Set. Jump.") ***1/2 out of ****
