Book Review: An Abundance of Katherines

"You can love someone so much, he thought. But you can never love people as much as you can miss them."

So hey everyone, Natasha again! I'm on a John Green reading spree, although it's gonna be on a break since I have five non-John Green books to read. I literally finished this book half-an-hour ago and I just needed to collect myself before I wrote this review.

Seventeen-year-old Collin Simpleton is what we call a prodigy. No, he isn't a genius -- he has a very good explanation to why that is. He also has a particular type when it comes to girls: his 19 girlfriends have all been named Katherine. And following his graduation of high school, all of the 19 Katherines have dumped him.

In a dark place, Colin and his friend Hassan go on a road trip to help cheer him up. They eventually arrive in a town called Gutshot, Tennessee, where Colin begins to work on the Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of relationships (mostly for himself).

As time passes and Colin learns more about Gutshot, it's inhabitants, friendships and a theorem that isn't willing to cooperate, Colin goes about trying to find his Eureka moment -- and finds out something that wasn't too hard to realise after all.

This isn't as deep as Paper Towns was, but I would still recommend this to a slightly older audience for sexual references and swearing. It's more of a lighthearted book, even with Colin's musings and anagram making. I really enjoyed it and it has made me laugh a lot.
