I was waffling between four and five stars for this one, but I went ahead and gave it the five. 
 Every now and then a book comes into your life at precisely the right time. So it was with Nick & Norah. There was so much in this book that hit the right chords with me that it was painful at times. The book was beautiful and honest, and portrayed so well how utterly fucking terrifying it is to fall in love. I can't remember the last time I marked so many passages in a book; so many of Levithan and Cohn's words resonated with me.
