An Abundance of Katherines (John Green)

Colin Singleton was a child prodigy, not a genius, just prodigy. Now, after graduating from high school he is just a smart guy with a talent for languages and remembering obscure facts. To top it off, he’s been dumped, for the nineteenth time, by a girl named Katherine. In a slump and feeling lost, Colin sets out with his best friend Hassan on a road trip adventure.

Searching for that “Eureka” moment, the pair end up in Gutshot, Tennessee where Colin learns that making a difference, really mattering in life, can happen in unexpected ways.

All the characters are wonderfully written, full of life and humor, and the story is entertaining. Readers will be rooting for things to work out for Colin and his struggle to capture the unruly world of love in a neat, mathematical theorem.
