An Abundance of Katherines by John Green (10-May-2012) Paperback

Colin Singleton has a very specific type—girls named Katherine, specifically the nineteen of them who've dumped him—and he's convinced there's a mathematical pattern to his romantic failures. So when he hits the road with his best friend Hassan on a rambling cross-country adventure, he's armed with a grand theory, a fistful of dollars, and absolutely zero Katherines in sight. What unfolds is a hilarious and deeply genuine exploration of friendship, identity, and whether love can ever really be predicted—complete with anagrams, a feral hog, and a small-town mystery that changes everything. Green masterfully weaves humor and heart into this coming-of-age story that proves sometimes the person you're looking for has been beside you all along.
