An Abundance of Katherines
BetsyP avatar reviewed on + 566 more book reviews


Contemporary teen fiction by John Green. Colin Singleton, former child prodigy, who has a weakness for girls named Katherine, had been dumped by Katherine XIX. This, and the fact that he is a Former Child Prodigy, with no prospects of affirming his genius, has Colin in crisis.

Colin's bff Hasan talks him into a road trip, to forget his troubles. They end up in Gutshot Tennessee, where they meet the locals, and learn a few life lessons. Along the way the boys figure out some of the things that matter in life.

Laugh out loud funny. Great characters.
