An Abundance of Kathrines by John Green

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green is a captivating and humorous exploration of love, identity, and the pursuit of meaning. The story centers around Colin Singleton, a former child prodigy with a unique problem—he’s been dumped by nineteen girls, all sharing the same name: Katherine.

Reeling from his latest heartbreak, Colin embarks on a spontaneous road trip with his loyal and fun-loving best friend, Hassan. Their journey takes them to the small town of Gutshot, Tennessee, where they encounter an intriguing cast of characters and become embroiled in local mysteries.

As Colin grapples with his past relationships, he becomes obsessed with creating a mathematical formula—the “Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability”—to predict the future of any romantic relationship and, perhaps, win back his latest Katherine. But as the summer unfolds, Colin discovers that life and love are far more complex than any equation.

It’s a story about friendship, growing up, and realizing that sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination.
