We're dating the guy or girl of our dreams when suddenly out of nowhere

you get dumped, leaving you heartbroken, angry, confused, and totally lonely. This

isn't the first time that this has happened to the main character, Colin Singleton, in

this book called: An Abundance of Katherine’s by John Green. In fact, he's been

dumped a record of nineteen times, and all by girls named Katherine. So he does

what any normal teenage guy wants to do when his heart is smashed to pieces yet

again. He decides to go on a road trip with his best friend Hassan. The thing is is that

Colin is not just any ordinary kid though. Colin is a child prodigy who was able to

read by the age of two, and he is obsessed with reading, languages, and

anagramming, which he loves to do night and day. It's super important to him that

he prove he's not some washed up prodigy, so he reads and studies all the time. His

best friend Hassan, who will most likely be me in the future being the lazy person

that we are, hasn't even registered for college yet and is perfectly happy sitting

around wasting time watching TV.

Colin had begun working on a big complicated math equation and worked on

it almost every single night. He was going to use it to plot out romantic relationships.

Colin calls it the, Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability. Colin had finally

solved his equation, when he realizes that he broke up with K-3, and not the other

way around. He lived his whole life on the fact that he thought he gets dumped

every time. So he's pretty shocked when he makes this discovery. While all of these

breakups and life changing things were happening in Colin Singleton’s life, a girl

whose name is Lindsey makes a big impact in it, and he and his theorem are put to

the test. I felt as if this was all interesting, and amazing to read. To see how

interesting ones life could be by dating only girls whose names are “Katherine” and

managing to find 19 girls whose names are exactly that. There were so many twists

and turns in the story, and unexpected things occurred which made me even enjoy

this book even more.
