OMG I love this book! It was different but beautiful at the same time, unbelieveable! The book is about two people unhappily in love: Nick who was left by his 6-months girlfriend Tris 3 weeks ago and is still not over her, and Norah who can't stop thinking about her on-off ex-boyfriend Tal whose gone to South Afrika for a kibbutz. They meet late at night at a gig of Nick's queercore band, The Fuck Offs when Nick asks Norah who happens to stand next to him to become his five-minute-girlfriend to avoid talking to Tris. But for some reason, Norah doesn't only become his five-minute-girlfriend but something entirely different and the night turns into some kind of Odysey of it's own and slowly it seems like Nick might just be what Norah has needed, and vice versa. I liked how Rachel Cohn and David Leviathan were able to create two such wholesome characters in less than 200 pages. Nick and Norah are believeable and likeable, but not at all perfect people. They do and say stupid things sometimes, are impulsive and emotional. But that makes them almost real, almost alive. I could really relate to their feelings and thoughts and thought the book, though a teen-book, beautifully written. The two main characters have feelings and thoughts, some deep, some shallow and it was delightful for me to read the book being able to find myself in them. A book to read, re-read and enjoy again and again! Beautiful.
