24. Dash and Lily's Book of Dares


***“I’ve left some clues for you.

If you want them, turn the page.

If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.***


This is the third and probably the last book of the Rachel Cohn-David Levithan tandem. It is about the journey of the red notebook. Haha. It is a very cute, interesting story of two bold, brilliant, bookish young individuals. I'm very fond of Dash and his linguistic powers.

If you're bored and you want to be entertained, this is the book for you.
Read. Laugh. Think.

23. Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List



***NAOMI AND ELY ARE BEST FRIENDS. Naomi loves and is in love with Ely, and Ely loves Naomi, but prefers to be in love with boys. So they create their "No Kiss List" of people neither of them is allowed to kiss. And this works fine - until Bruce. Bruce is Naomi's boyfriend, so there's no reason to put him on the List. But Ely kissed Bruce even though he is boring. The result: a rift of universal proportions and the potential end of "Naomi and Ely: the institution." Can these best friends come back together again?***

Here comes Naomi, the Queen of Trouble. Haha. >:D< She is very beautiful (and she doesn't know that) intelligent and witty. She's your dream girl BUT the sad thing is, he's been in love with her gay bestfriend ever since they were still so young. 
Ely, Naomi's bestfriend loves her too but prefers to be in a relationship with boys because like I said, she's openly gay. One day, they created their "No Kiss List" which contains names of boys neither one of them is allowed to kiss (obivously haha). The two of them were inseparable since birth, they even talk about getting married and having kids and everything only a couple talks about, until Ely kissed Bruce, Naomi's boyfriend. From that moment, every detail in their lives kind of started to take a little turn to the left, their friendship, Naomi's grades, Ely's lovelife.

But I am satisfied with the ending... 
I hope they're all happy now.

22. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist


***It all starts when Nick asks Norah to be his girlfriend for five minutes. He only needs five minutes to avoid his ex-girlfriend, who’s just walked in to his band’s show. With a new guy. And then, with one kiss, Nick and Norah are off on an adventure set against the backdrop of New York City—and smack in the middle of all the joy, anxiety, confusion, and excitement of a first date.



This he said/she said romance told by YA stars Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is a sexy, funny roller coaster of a story about one date over one very long night, with two teenagers, both recovering from broken hearts, who are just trying to figure out who they want to be—and where the next great band is playing.

Told in alternating chapters, teeming with music references, humor, angst, and endearing side characters, this is a love story you’ll wish were your very own. Working together for the first time, Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have combined forces to create a book that is sure to grab readers of all ages and never let them go.***


Oh yes. This is my favorite among the three Rachel Cohn-David Levithan books maybe because I can be very Norah. =))

Well anyways, this is a story about a guy who is still in love with his ex who dumped him because he is too serious and  a girl who is the daughter of a music producer AND their wonderful overnight adventure about life and love and everything in between.

I loved reading both POVs. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm pretty sure you'll gonna love it too.

Love,
