Somewhere along the middle of the book, Lily visits a club that one of Dash's dares sent her to. The club has a Hanukka/christmas show and the bouncer is a drag queen. The club reminded me of one of the clubs in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist where Norah's friend, Tony, is a bouncer. Then, when Lily walks inside, a band with punk guys is playing. And there is no drummer. Is this Nick's band?

I love the show based on this book! Are the show and the book very similar, is one better than the other? Is this book worth reading after you have watched the show or is it a must read? Please let me know, thank you!
Anne They are very similar. There are some details that are different, but I very much think the book is worth reading after you've watched the show.…moreThey are very similar.
