Nick and Norah's Infinite PlaylistBy: Rachel Cohn & David Levithan

As edgy teen novels go, this was a gem, something unique in the pile of romances and cheerleading based refuse that is teen novels.
Nick is the straight bassist in a queercore band, while at a show he sees his ex, Tris, and wants to avoid her. Norah is a girl he saw there (and incidentally, knows Tris). To successfully avoid this, he asks Norah to be his girlfriend for five minutes. This basic, awkward event leads to a crazy night that will take them through clubs where nuns make out, a Korean market that sells stale Oreos, all across New York City and of course through that strange sensation that we call 'love'.
A great read with an equally good sound track, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist should be read by anyone looking for a good time reading a book. And if you've already read it, don't see the movie, because your soul may be crushed.
Recommended to: teens generally, if you have any qualms about strong themes and language this isn't for you
