Isn't it fun to read a book that gives you happy feelings inside, especially knowing that you'll soon be rewarded with a big-screen adaptation that looks totally cute? I love it when that happens. So, welcome back, Buzz Book Club readers! It is time to discuss the conclusion of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. I can't wait to see the movie!
But first, here's how the Book Club goes if you're new: Every week I've suggested chapters to complete by the next post (which, in this case, was every Friday in September). In these weekly Book Club posts, I posit a few questions to prompt discussion in the comments section.
I'll fill you in on my October book soon. For now, to discuss the final section of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, in which we read from the start of the chapter 14 through the end of the book, read more.
- I'm so glad that Norah was ultimately able to let go with Nick, but I was often disturbed by her use of the term "frigid." I don't think any woman — much less a teenager! — should think of herself in this way. When she said, "Frigid was a choice rather than a truth," I think I was supposed to feel good, but instead I just felt sad. It's like something eerily out of a bygone era. What do you make of all that?
- Which parts of the book do you hope make it into the movie adaptation? There are a few little lines (like Nick calling "Salvatore" and saying, "Tell him I hope he likes his new home") that I think would be adorable coming out of Michael Cera's mouth. Are there any parts you think the filmmakers could skip for the big-screen version?
- In the end, Norah picks a theme for a mix tape she wants to make for Nick: (T)rainy/Dreamy. What did you think of her song choices? What theme would you give the mix tape or playlist for the best date you ever had?
- Speaking of which: Have you ever had an epic first date like this? If so, do tell!

I found the frigid thing weird as well - most teenagers aren't comfortable with their sexuality and I think girls may be more scared/nervous/reserved. I found it weird that she called herself frigid, but maybe she was comparing herself to Caroline.
I thought this book was cute and I can't wait to see how it translates to the screen.
