Summary:
When shy quiet recently single Nick glances at the headstrong and also recently single Nora across a bar in which they are both too young to be in, he realizes that she is his only chance to find a girl that will impress his beautiful and stuck-up ex-girlfriend Tris in time. He convinces Nora to be his girlfriend for the “next five minutes” and what happens next? You’ll have to read and find out.
This novel is filled with adventure and humor, and will sure to keep even the most reluctant of readers thoroughly entertained. Teens will fall in love with Nick and his attempts to do what is right even when things are not going his way.
Cohn creates a novel surrounding one night filled with wild antics, sexual frustration and of course lots of rockin’ music. A night in which two teens discover and explore the lives they have known and the future itself. This novel is filled with tons of music tidbits from heavy metal and punk bands to those oldies-but-goodies we know and love, perfect for the true music fan.
Strong Language is throughout this great teen novel, so readers beware.
