An Abundance of Katherines

An Abundance of Katherines is a fiction book by John Green about the life of a guy named Colin. What's unique about Colin is, he has been dumped nineteen times by girls all named Katherine. He is also a child prodigy who could read by the age of two. To get away from all of his troubles, Colin and his friend Hassan go on a road trip. They end up in a town named Gutshot; and when they go to see the grave of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, they meet a girl named Lindsey, who is happening to date a guy named Colin. Lindsey becomes their friend, and her mom offers the two boys a job interviewing people about about Gutshot and a factory. During this time, Colin and Lindsey begin getting close, sharing interests and secrets. Colin begins wanting to prove he's not just some child prodigy, so he begins working on The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability. This is a complicated math equation that plots out romantic relationships. With this theorem, he begins understand what happened with the nineteen Katherines. Eventually, Colin and Lindsey begin dating and he calculates that they'll be done for on the fourth day. Lindsey jokingly breaks up with him on the fourth day, and that's when Colin realizes he shouldn't use some math equation to figure out his love life. I'd recommend this book if you may be struggling with relationships of your own and just can't figure out why.
