Nick Norah Infinite Playlist Rachel Cohn David Levithan Books

This will not be a book review, this is a fan letter confession. I resisted reading this book because I knew it'd be a deja vu, stepping through the looking glass, repetitive good nightmare psalm for me; I've been there/done that. I am old, old, old, but only in numbers because this book spoke with my inner older teenager in a way that made me want to shout, "HEY! Who told my secrets out loud?" Or are these emotions universal ? Are the authors just revealing what all of us know, but few of us speak? Who amongst us would NOT want to have a kaleidoscope adventure like this? If anyone says, "Not me," you are lying.

This may have been the best YA book I've ever read, or will read and I'm a goner with respects to the book's energy, plot, character development, and setting. The sound track too, although I was not into punk or grunge (---it hadn't yet blossomed in the 1970's), it was authentic to this piece. And if it had, I would have surely crowd surfed too.

This powerfully written love story ( no denying it, it has love at its core, albeit disguised as lust and raw sex and hunger, but it's all still birthed from a love point of view) resonated with me to my core. It isn't Hemingway or Burroughs, it wasn't meant to be. It was the best over heard conversation, the best wet-dream escape adventure, the finger on the pulse of a youthful right-Of-passage, that I hope everyone gets to experience at least once in their life.

I've had these same experiences, I've had the quicksand toxic ex- girlfriend to contend with, the what-if he never, or what-if he doesn't... want to see me, call me, be with me anxieties, the whirlwind 24 hr romp through a big city (Washington DC for me), and the oh my God, what the f*** are we doing here!&$+*¢` ??? !!!! moments too. I've jones-ed out on the hormone infused air hovering over a guy as Nick, I've been high on life.

Most of all, I understand the point- of-view because I have been a supremely lucky person to have had this similar experience and I wouldn't trade the memory for all the tea in China. Great writing, I want more. I live for the crescendos, the dizzy dialogue, the kisses in the rain. To Chaucer who asks what do women want, to Saul Bellow who insatiably rants, "I want, I want, I want,"--the answer is a drum roll thunder and clear bass throbbing, "THIS!"

To literary critics out there who wrinkle your noses; how sad for you not to understand what this book was really about, if you have to ask---you'll never know.

Nick Norah Infinite Playlist Rachel Cohn David Levithan Books Reviews

This short novel mostly flies by, except when the middle drags a bit. It is a cute and engaging romantic story with some nice messages about sexual fluidity and accepting others for who they truly are lightly peppered in. Overall, it reads like the two authors were just having fun taking turns writing one chapter at a time as an exercise in creative writing but ended up with a work that could be edited and shaped into a marketable product.
Actual rating 3.5 stars

I loved the novel, and am of the opinion that it is definitely the best of what Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written together. It is gritty, artsy and embodies the soul of New York and garage bands. The characters are all painted with bright colours and flaws making them all loveable in individual ways.

Norah’s dry sarcasm juxtaposes with being such an introvert, confidence is a big issue for her – and straight away creates conflict for nearly everything she does, making Norah a compelling character. Enter Nick, an all-around good guy seemingly out of his element. But that is just it – he’s not. He embodies the millennium man. Age, race, gender and sexual orientation mean little to Nick, as he takes everyone on face value and how they treat him. Together, they both appear to not belong to the club and music scene in New York, but on closer inspection embody the pulse of the industry. And it takes meeting and accepting each other to start realising their place and the start of their journey.

Although the narrative is witty, and such edgy symbolism is planted throughout, ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’ suffered from two of my biggest turn-offs in books the flashback, and excessive embellishment of a scene (otherwise known as mental wanderings). I think if it hadn’t exceeded my expectations in all other areas I would have abandoned it early on.

It is a very quick read, but heavy on content. Also, being true to the contemporary genre it concludes in a way you can interpret it as an ending or not… you must read between the lines to get the most out of this book.
