Synopsis

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist meets Easy A in this hilariously realistic story of sneaking out, making out, and playing in a band.

After catching their bandmates in a compromising position, sixteen-year-old Los Angelenos Riley and Reid become painfully aware of the romance missing from their own lives. And so a pact is formed: they'll both try to make something happen with their respective crushes and document the experiences in a shared notebook.

While Reid struggles with the moral dilemma of adopting a dog to win over someone's heart, Riley tries to make progress with Ted Callahan, who she's been obsessed with forever-His floppy hair! His undeniable intelligence! But suddenly cute guys are popping up everywhere. How did she never notice them before?! With their love lives going from 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye, Riley and Reid realize the results of their pact may be more than they bargained for.

Part of why I liked this book so......more

Goodreads review by Amy on February 01, 2015

Loved, loved, loved this book! The characters are so adorkably awkward... and while it is written to highlight all the cool bands that kids listen to... all I could think about was all the glorious food mentioned! Good news-- the waffle place does exist! I can't wait to try it!......more

More reviews at Mrs. ReaderPants. REVIEW: This was very cute and unexpected and reminded me a bit of the "gang" in Scooby-Doo. Nathan and Lucy (the dating bandmates) are so Fred and Daphne. Reid is a total Shaggy. And Riley...maybe she's Scrappy-Doo? Love interests Garrick, Ted, and Milo could be lik......more
