What this book is about
Co-written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, this YA novel follows Nick and Norah through a single night in Manhattan's music scene, alternating between their two perspectives.

Some sexual content, drinking, and strong language are present throughout in the contemporary YA register. One of the more grown-up YA contemporaries of the 2000s.
