Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Easy #26
In the beginning of the book, the character Nick was still hung up on Tris and was unwilling to do anything fun or exciting. But when he met Norah, that all changed. Like when he offered to take Norah on an adventure around the city, taking her to the burlesque show and such. When he was with Norah, he didn't even think of Tris; only Norah. By the end of the book, he no longer cared about Tris, which is the exact opposite from the beginning of the book.

They mostly talked about Nick. Norah learns the whole story of Tris and Nick's break-up, and Tris gives her psuedo-permission to date Nick.
3. Explain how Norah knew Nick before they ever met.
Norah was "not-friends" with Tris while Tris and Nick were dating, and so she heard of him through Tris.

7. How does Norah learn about the underground Where's Fluffy concert?
It was written on the bathroom wall when she went to the bathroom at the Sound of Music burlesque show.

Because no one else at their school would have her, and they felt sorry for her. Plus, she had a "decent radar for good bands", as Norah said.

Because he saw Tris in the crowd with another guy, and he didn't want Tris to think he was still hung up on her.

He wrote it after Norah went away in a cab when they got into a fight. Ludlow street was the name of the street she left him at.
